William Thomas "Tommy" Emmanuel AM (born 31 May 1955) is an Australian guitarist and occasional singer, best known for his complex fingerstyle technique, energetic performances and the use of percussive effects on the guitar. In the May 2008 and 2010 issues of Guitar Player Magazine, he was named as "Best Acoustic Guitarist" in their readers' poll. In June 2010 Emmanuel was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM).
Emmanuel was born in Australia in 1955. He received his first guitar in 1959 at age four, being taught by his mother to accompany her playing lap steel guitar. At the age of 7 he heard Chet Atkins on the radio. He vividly remembers this moment and says it greatly inspired him.
By the age of 6, in 1961, he was a working professional musician. Recognizing the musical talents of Tommy and his brother Phil, their father created a family band, sold the family home and took his family on the road. With the family living in two station wagons, much of Emmanuel’s childhood was spent touring Australia with his family, playing rhythm guitar, and rarely going to school. The family found it difficult living on the road; they were poor but never hungry, never settling in one place. His father would often drive ahead, organize interviews, advertising and finding the local music shop where they'd have an impromptu concert the next day. Eventually the New South Wales Department of Education insisted that the Emmanuel children needed to go to school regularly.

Plot
Set in the Nazi-controlled, northern Italian state of Salo in 1944, four dignitaries round up sixteen perfect specimens of youth and take them together with guards, servants and studs to a palace near Marzabotto. In addition, there are four middle-aged women: three of whom recount arousing stories whilst the fourth accompanies on the piano. The story is largely taken up with their recounting the stories of Dante and De Sade: the Circle of Manias, the Circle of Shit and the Circle of Blood. Following this, the youths are executed whilst each libertine takes his turn as voyeur.

Signora Vaccari: I was nine when my sister took me to Milan to meet Signora Calzetti. She examined me and asked if I wanted to work for her. I said I would, if the pay was good. My first client, a stout man named Vaccari, looked me over carefully. At once, I showed him my pussy, which I thought was very special. He covered his eyes: "Out of the question. I'm not interested in your vagina, cover it up." He covered me, making me lie down, and said "All these little whores know is to flaunt their vaginas. Now I shall have to recover from that disgusting sight."

Soon keep a little chance
Knowing there's something
Gonna let you hide
Soon wanna keep my eyes
They're so unsocial
They sell our souls
Soon keep a little chance
Knowing there's something
Gonna let you hide
Soon wanna keep my eyes
They're so unsocial
They sell our souls
Soon keep a little chance
Knowing there's something

Time, escapes me,
Like everything else I hold on to.
These desperate words fall onto... deaf ears.
Screaming for forgiveness
Hoping this time, the blow will be easier.
Hours spent filling time.
Days without sleep.
Weeks wondering when it will become the new dawn.
Having, these eyes, wide open, slaps me in the face.
Over, and over.
Running off into the sunset, never sounded so right.
The only problem, is, these legs...
Can't, take us there.
Can't take us there!
Advice has been given,
Out here in nothin' engulfed by the sea
And there's no one here 'cept these fishes and me
I think I could die here
Then I'm hit, leveled hard by the rising tide
Oh, I'm hit hard by the tide
I'm just livid, all alone
Sunny, so funny, not funny to me because
I'm bearing the scars from it burning on me
But I feel so revived, just sittin', little thinkin'
Then I'm hit hard, really hard by the tide
I'm hit hard by the tide, I'm just livid
And I'm livin'
Yeah, I'm hit hard by the tide
I'm livid, livid
I came here to bring you power
But they all pulled me down
And crushed my tower
Far from heaven fighting the dragon
Blind with anger like devil's spawn
Midnight madness - Sore with sadness
Screaming the pain away... away
Night wolf raving - Madman waving
Howling my blues here in the shade
Like a wreck my rust goes deep
I play it cool but my inside bleeds... yeah
A falling angel in this evil well
Dying forever in my lonely shell
Moonlight madness - Scarred from sadness
Dreaming the shame away... away
Night wolf crying cold and dying
Nothing is new here in the shade
Oh... cold and dying... dying... dying... ahh
Midnight madness - Sore with sadness
Burning my rage again... again...
Raving restless soon I'm breathless
Nothing is new here in the shade
Oh... I'll cry my days of hell
Inside this evil well
Oh yeah... I'm near absolute zero
Just a broken zero
Nothing is new... nothing is true...
I'm howling my blues here in the shade
