I laugh hysterically when some crazy lists of “best guitar” players includes BB King (who could not darn the socks of the Emmanuel Brothers). How any list could not consider these guys is simply unbelievable or shall we just say “the lists are propaganda” of commercial music/marketing/ BS industry.

I was in a famous Sydney music shop in about 2014 and thumbing through the music sheets with a mate. A bloke standing next to us offered some gratuitous advice. I almost fell over when I saw it was the great Phil Emmanuel. Have we ever seen two brothers as talented as these? I doubt it.

Yes it is but it was clear to see in Phil’s face and his voice that he was or had been a heavy smoker. Tommy looks so much younger and healthier despite his brutal schedule. If I am wrong I apologise but I was thinking he was not well and then sadly read of his passing. It was only a couple of years ago he and a number of players from his era played at the Centenary Rocks concert in the park in Brisbane so I saw him live one more time.

I don’t really think he’s lost it, it’s not not as broad as it was. Phil had a very broad Queensland accent. It’s amazing, but Aussies have distinctive accents from state to state, as they do in America and England and just about every other country.

@@joycie014 You are correct young lady! My wife and I were in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I was booking into a hotel there. The lady behind the counter floored me when she asked me what part of Brisbane I was from! I said how would you know that? She replied you Aussies do not realise each state has their own accent. She was an exchange student in Brisbane for two years!

@@happyolddude it’s fascinating isn’t it? I love language and the origins of how it evolved the way it did. I was only made aware of it when my aunt, who born and raised here in Victoria, went to live in South Australia. After several years there, she and her family came back for a visit and she had developed this accent that sounded very upper class English; you know, with the elongated “a”. Take a word like plant, we say it so it sounds like ant, Val was suddenly calling it plant as in can’t. My mother was convinced she was “bunging it on” but realised when we visited her in S.A. that was how everybody spoke.
