Tommy Emmanuel cancels Australian tour

12/17/2007

After canceling concert dates in the Netherlands due to exhaustion and illness, Grammy award nominated guitarist Tommy Emmanuel has been advised to cancel his Australian tour which was to commence on December 29th. He will return to his home in Nashville, Tennessee immediately to receive treatment for health issues that will require an extended recovery time.

A punishing ongoing tour schedule, including filming a new DVD, double CD and instructional video, has prevented Tommy from attending to health issues that required attention and is now forced to remedy them.

His acclaim as one of the world's finest guitarists has spread from Australia to all parts of the globe and continues to grow. Demand is so high that he was offered as many as 900 dates in Europe alone in 2008. His Internet popularity on "You Tube" has spread his talent to an unlimited audience. Comments on his website guest book come from places he has never even visited from Moscow to South Africa, from Brazil to Shanghai. With the demand comes offers of work and Tommy's life long ambition has been to spread his music around the world.

After his much needed break, he will continue to visit new places that offer him opportunities so that he can achieve his dream – but now at a more realistic pace with more time at home dedicated to writing and recording both his own music and developing artists.

Tommy has offered this message to everyone:

Dear Friends,

I'm taking some time to get my body and soul to where I'm at my best again. I couldn't carry on at the pace I lived and realized I was out of control. Thank you for all your prayers, emails and messages of support. I appreciate you all so much and I promise to be the best I can.

Love,
TE

sigh... this means our malaysian concert if off too... =(

As some of you now know, I have started my own company in Fuel Enhancement.
It's been nothing short of a BIIIIIGGGGGG learning curve for me. Tiring but lots and lots of fun!
God truly has been there every step of the way.

Here's the website for those who interested.

One interesting thing I've learned though is that certain cars react better to certain brands of fuel.

For example, I have found that I get the best mileage from pumping Esso or Mobil on my AUDI A4

Some people however swear by Petronas... (mostly people with stock with the company I find... =P)

However, on a more serious note, a warning call for all those driving Perodua made cars..

especially those driving Kancils and Kelisa's..

NEVER EVER EVER pump at Esso.

It will do some serious damage to the well being to your car.

Why you ask....

It has to do with Esso's slogan.

'Put a Tiger in your Tank'

......

After the Tiger eat your Kancil leh!!!!!!!

You have been forwarned!

Subject: 3 Minute Management Course

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel
and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before
she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $500 to drop that towel." After
thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front
of Bob.

After a few seconds, Bob hands her $500 and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets
to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.

"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $500 he owes
me?"

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your
shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable
exposure.

Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing
her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After
controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand.

But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once
again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"

The priest apologised "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at
the convent, the nun went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It
said,
"Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great
opportunity

Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch
when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The
Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."

"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas,
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."

Puff! She's gone.

"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing
on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas
and the love of my life."

Puff! He's gone.

"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I want
those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say

Lesson 4

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw
the
eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure, why not."

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a
sudden, a
fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up

Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the
top
of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of
the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

BullS*** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there

Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
froze
and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow
came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize
how
warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm
and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following
the
sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and
promptly
dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends the 3-minute management course.
