There\u2019s loud. There\u2019s huge, it looks like you\u2019re having an absolute ball. In fact, more fun than half the audience.<br \/>\nTOMMY EMMANUEL: That\u2019s right!

I started with The Jolly Swagman\u2026<br \/>\nTG MATT: Well, you got, you got me.<br \/>\n(Plays guitar)<br \/>\nTOMMY EMMANUEL: See, I wrote that tune because I\u2019ve been thinking about.. there was a logo that we had when I was with The Bushwackers and it was the Swagman kicking his heels up playing at Constantina, and he just looked like he was really flying and having a good time, and I thought, the Jolly\u2019s Swag \u2013 where&#8217;s the Jolly Swagman? I gotta write him a song! You know. So that\u2019s where that came from and what I tried to create was like a fiddle kind of tune.
