Tommy is amazing. I have to admit that I sometimes find it hard to listen to him, especially when he is in larkin mode and jumping all over the place looking for a laugh rather than sticking with the song and allowing the emotion/feeling to build. I find it ... jolts my ears sometimes. So i wouldn't want to emulate that style. (I this blasphemy for an Aussie to say? - perhaps). But yes, he is undeniably an awesome musician among awesome musicians and I'd love his abilities. And when he's playing expressively I'd love to have his style.
Now Muriel Anderson... Another AMAZING musician, artist ... pure and simple. She also ... is there an appropriate word for the level of skill that Tommy and Muriel have? Anyway, she also has a spirit and playfulness that i find endearing and above all a way of channelling her passion into her playing. Well all real musical artists do I guess.
