Age Check .....

Any of you old enough to remember Tommy Emmanuel, and "Classical Gas" - before it was a golden oldie? ..... Here's a reminder from baddd60 at YouTube.

UPDATE: A clarification from Jimmy at Sticky Doorknobs. It was Mason Williams who composed the song, and it was his recording of the song (arranged for guitar and symphony orchestra) that you hear on the 'golden oldies' radio. He is absolutely right, and my original post is badly written. By the way, Emmanuel would also perform the song with an orchestra, but not until the 90s.

I thought Mason Williams classi-fied "Gas"?

Jimmy, you're absolutely right.

Jeff ... Emmanuel is an exquisite guitar talent, btw.
