    Reminds me of the 1st time I saw you perform at B.B. King’s… Outstanding performance then and now by both of you.

    Hi Mr. Rafferty!

    I actually got more goosebumps hearing your solo than Tommy’s, and damn, this does not happen often, that one can impress me more than Mr. Emmanuel. 🙂

    Great music, thank you.

    Best regards from Germany,
    Nicki

    that was superb, my father was a jazz guitarist in the fifties, and while i play good guitar, its all james taylor stefan grossman with a little don mclean, playing that style you never learn the jazz chords and tecniques, but its jazz i now want to play so i guess i am gonna have to start working on it. love your style and those jazzy influences. recntly you inspired me to do a personal arrangement of overjoyed, which im quite pleased with, keep inspiring, your the man
