I’m not a guitarist, but thought this was lovely, it really shows a master at work, I love watching and hearing any musician who really has that magical something that makes them a master of their instrument, I find it very inspiring.
The way he holds the guitar, like he’s holding his first new born child, like it’s part of him, and he moves with it, and when he plays it there’s a physical and and intensely emotional connection, and like all true greats, he makes it look so effortless, and easy.
Just thought I’d post this, it’s very relaxing to watch.

Thanks for sharing. I've always liked mr. Rea's personna, seems to be an honest, nice guy.

And a really talented, expressive singer and bottleneck player.

Oh yeah he's very good.. he has something to say, both with the music and the guitar.

Chris is a true talent, and as said genuinely a lovely bloke.

He was on Mortimer and Whitehouse's Christmas episode talking about his ailments and illnesses. Irrepressible I think is the word.

Exactly, and when you have illness, or other major problems, music pulls you through, takes you away from focussing on the bad things, and lifts us to a higher place, where those bad things can’t get to us, literally that.
And you can tell with Chris Rea, he has a lot to say, and his music comes from the heart.

Yep, I saw that and thought he looked really ill, poor man. Love a lot of his stuff, Stainsby Girls especially.
That said, if I ever hear "Driving Home For Xmas" again it will be too soon.

His first record company wanted to change his name to Benny Santini (hence the title of his first album 'Whatever Happened To Benny Santini?') Needless to say, he declined their suggestion...

Ahh but did you see his Tweet saying "at least I'll save on petrol this year"?

Legend.

As Christmas songs go 'Driving Home" is one of the better options, that said if I had to pick a single one it would be "Fairytale In New York".

It's not officially Christmas for me until Greg Lake has been on the radio.

Yep! Used to be when King's College choir starts "Hark The Herald Angels" for me but this year I brought it forward to the second I heard the opening bars of Greg...

[Moroccomoose]

Jonah Lewie for me...Dubba dubba dum dum.
