John;

Two Saturdays ago we saw Tommy Emmanuel perform at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. He is an outstanding guitarist and one of the finest entertainers I have ever seen!

Tommy sang a song acapella that we really enjoyed. It had to do with life. The emphasis was that when you wake up in the morning it is up to you to enjoy the day, and give to others. I wish I had the title of the song. It has a lot of power.
