Happy Birthday Dad
I've been looking for a certain Tommy Emmanuel CD for quite a while. (B&N has him in the 'Jazz' section, and the album itself is indexed as 'Jazz' for some stupid reason.) They didn't have the CD I was looking for, but I took a chance on this one. Glad I did, as it had a gem on it that is particularly meaningful to me on this day, January 30th. Here's Tommy performing it on You Tube. Tommy evidently first heard the song first as performed by Chet Atkins (also seen here on You Tube) who also, serendipitously, was a particular favorite of my Father.
