I lost my mind during the first time I heard "One Christmas Night". What a treat of emotion! Unbelieveable!

Tab for THE DUKE and many others can be found by doing a Google search for TABOK and following a few links. Most of the tabs are pretty accurate.

Been waiting for a good version of The Duke. Thanks for posting. A magical performance as usual.

Tommy is the only man who can make me cry two times within 15 minutes, just by playing his guitar. The Duke and One Christmas Night, two new true masterpieces.

[TheDragonfly45]

Ahhhhhh.... Now that it is morning on the east coast US I realize where and when I first heard Tommy play "The Duke"..... it was at TommyFest in Elizabethtown KY back in Feb of this year -2011- He loves western movies and was watching a John Wayne movie when inspired to finish writing a song which he started a while ago. He wanted to show his admiration for the Daddy figures who have instired him over his lifetime - thus, "The Duke" named after John Wayne as mattstraszewski correctly points out

[allegrande]

Love "The Duke"

[TEFan2007]

"One Christmas Night" is so great! I love it!

[TheDragonfly45]

Hope Tommy records this one on CD SOON !! And teaches us to play it !

[TheDragonfly45]

Tommy and John Knowles have a new Christmas CD which should be available very soon ! The songs are refreshing and the guitars sound amazing ! Tommy used his new David Taylor guitar for the recordings.

[TheDragonfly45]

Thanks for sending the name of the first song. So very melodic, I'm sure you will all agree !

[mattstraszewski]

The first one played is "The Duke", I suppose. Song inspired by the person of John Wayne. Anyway,thank you for uploading videos!
