Mr. One Man Band Legendary guitarist Tommy Emmanuel is a two-time Grammy nominee and one of the greatest musicians in the world today. His love and dedication to the guitar, shows why he is one of the greatest players in the world. Emmanuel’s professional career has been going on for over fifty years and he continues to play over three hundred concerts a year. It is no small fact that this man is referred to as being the greatest acoustic guitar player alive with musicians such as; Steve Vai, Chet Atkins, Martin Taylor, Eric Clapton, and even Les Paul himself praising Tommy for his jaw-dropping performances. Tommy is often referred to as a One Man Band because of the style he plays. He incorporates melody, bass, rhythm, percussion, and harmonies into his playing which creates the illusion of a band. This style of playing is called “fingerstyle” and was inspired by the legendary “fingerpicker” Chet Atkins whom was Tommy’s main source of inspiration. Emanuel’s fan base spans all over the globe reaching hundreds of thousands of people and continues to grow to this day. William Thomas Emmanuel was born May thirty first, nineteen fifty five in Muswellbrook, New South Wales, Australia. In an interview for MusicCountry Cable Television, Tommy’s mother, Virginia stated: “When Tommy was born I took him home. I used to feed him and then put him in the crib; and then I would sit him up against the stereo and put an LP on. And if he didn’t have that he would be crying. He needed his…

Hagar’s evolving narratives in Genesis 16:1-15 and 21:8-21 raises the following questions: “What is the relationship of creation and communities of faith to God?” “And what are the implications of Hagar’s narrative in communities that have suffered and are broken?” Preceding the narrative of Hagar in Genesis 16 is the fundamental problem that sets into motion a chain of events.…

to see if it was him who could not bring about the child, “Her challenge is implicit: Let’s see if you can be built up through her, buster. And Abraham rises to the bait.” (Visotzky, 45) It is seen very soon after that Abraham has no problem bringing a child into the world because Hagar is pregnant. If this would be the true motive behind the act then it would now be clear as to why Sarah is so upset with Hagar, and it would also make sense as to why Hagar looks upon Sarah as her lesser because…

approaching him. Abraham prepares a meal for them. He runs to the tent to tell Sarah to prepare cakes. In verse nine the men ask about Sarah and make their birth announcement. The narrator tells us that Sarah is inside the tent listening and that she laughs to herself. The Lord asks why she is laughing and Sarah denies that she laughed. The author shows Abraham and Sarah as hospitable people. They make a feast in the heat of the day for three men. The author is winning over the…

This is what Paul is doing in much of Chapter 4. He restates his point about good works verses faith by employing the story of Hagar and Sarah as an allegory for slavery to and freedom from the Law. As a refresher for what was covered last week, watch this video about the debate between faith vs. good works as the path to salvation. Video Follow-up questions: • What is the result of good works alone? What is the result of grace, or faith, alone? • Which argument makes more sense, Paul’s about…

Think of the words “serial killer.” Who comes to mind? Many have left an undesirable impression on the world, but some tend to stand out from the rest. One in particular seems to be especially unique against the others: Richard Kuklinski. Standing at six and a half inches at three hundred pounds and nicknamed “The Iceman,” Richard Kuklinski was a brutal and cruel man known for killing more than one hundred men in his lifetime. Most people who knew of Kuklinski’s background would not be surprised…

Van Halen In 1972 the legendary hard rock band known as Van Halen was born in Pasadena, California. From 1974 until 1989, the band consisted of guitarist Eddie Van Halen, vocalist David Lee Roth, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Michael Anthony. Later in 1985 Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth. The band later became famous stars, and in the early 1980s they were one of the most successful and popular rock acts of the time. The album 1994 was their most famous one yet. Their best single,…

However, what they have in common is something much more fundamental. In 1986 Van Halen had become one of the most popular bands of their generation, but a nasty divorce between lead singer David Lee Roth and the rest of the band left them in a tough spot. That’s when they turned to Sammy Hagar and began a new chapter of Van Halen. Rather than replacing Roth with someone who sounded like him and trying to continue on as if nothing had changed, they branched out and created a whole new era of the…

multiple albums that went platinum such as “1979’s Van Halen”, “1980’s women and children first”, “1981’s Fair warning” and “1982’s Diver Down”. But he didn’t become really famous until he released 1984, which showcased the classic hits “Jump”, “Panama”, and “Hot for Teacher”, (www.biography.com, 2016). Van Halen wasn’t the perfect band, there was tension between the players. In 1985, after recording Eddies solo album, David left…
