#3 What’s On the Turntable This Week?
This week’s featured acoustic artist is Conny Berghall. Conny comes recommended to us by Acoustic Tuesday listener Rikus V. of Johannesburg South Africa. Rikus says, “He is the most amazing guitar player I have ever seen just watch and listen.” Rikus was totally right. This guy is unbelievable. Conny has carved out his own path in terms of percussion and the melodies that he puts together.

Let me tell you about a tiny, yet powerful acoustic guitar amplifier. These amps have a very woody, transparent tone. They are made by AER in Germany and built like total tanks. I have also learned that Tommy Emmanuel has an artist edition!

#1 Find Your Way: A Busker’s Documentary Review
This documentary is about 5 separate buskers (street musicians) in Seattle. Good news, this documentary weaves together 5 different stories throughout the entire movie. I am delighted with it, I found it extremely inspirational and thought-provoking. The theme that had the biggest impact on me is that it seemed to toy with the idea of various people trying to define success, which is so fascinating.
Wow that Conny……….dammmm Oh yeah .. Hello from TEXAS
Write a LOVE SONG and perform it for your love. It doesn’t need to be on stage . It’s even better in an intimate setting.
