hi Tom

i had forgotten just how great you sounded that night. I could hear all of us singing along with you in the background. What a great time we all had last year. You added so much to all of the fun. Wish you could come to camp with us again this year. It sounds like IGC has made a big difference in your guitar playing and singing. We would all love for you to post your latest videos for us. We will still sing along even if you can't hear us. :)

Great job, Tom! It is nice to see these performances again! You are one of the folks that put the I in the IGC!
Thanks Jim, I am looking forward to seeing some of the others perform.

I was expecting and looking forward to seeing John's video up next, so it was a bit of a suprize when I checked in tonight and it was mine. :ohmy:
Looks like it's going to be in random order. That should keep everyone on their toes. :blink: :lol:

Tom.

Thanks Sandy, you were a great support on the night. :) I'm sure you were one of my backing singers. ;) if I'm not mistaken?
I think maybe the acoustics were favourable on the night for me. ;) :)

I was hearing the backing group tonight as well. My daughter remarked about that, as we watched the video earlier this evening.
She said, 'what a supportive crowd, their singing along'.

It's our thirtieth wedding anniversary this year, so I am taking my wife somewhere special this year. So I probably won't make the IGC, but I would never say never........... Mmm.......... good title for something. :laugh:

I used the whole IGC event firstly, to set some goals and make me work harder and with more focus. My playing has improved a lot this year and I have hit a milestone of significance I reckon. That being, that I can sing and fingerpick together, which is as significant as when I first managed to strum and sing together. I have been working on a great old fingerpicking song favourite of mine and I have been singing along while playing, so that is a first for me. I am working on getting it to a decent standard to post at some stage. Watch this space. :) You're most welcome to sing along when I do, as you will know this song for sure Sandy. :)

It's not even a year, and I can't believe how much of that weekend I forgot ... I'm glad I got to enjoy it all over again!

The great thing is you get to do it all again later this year if you choose. :)

30th..... Wow, that is amazing and wonderful. Congratulations! I hope the two of you do something crazy, like flying half way around the world to a guitar camp, or something like that..... :woohoo:

On a serious note, that truly is a beautiful thing, Tom. In today's world, to last 30yrs is something to admire. I hope you guys have a special trip, wherever you go! :)

Nice performance Tom and it got even better as the crowd joined in with you. You looked like you were having fun at the end especially.

Congrats on your 30th too. I hope you both have a wonderful time.

Very well done. Soothing vocals, solid guitar playing. Looked very comfortable. I can't wait for the next IGC.
