Such a great interview, good job. JD is a wonderful fellow and I am very impressed with his playing, singing, writing. So down to earth.

Love This! Thanks for doing this!

Great interview! Jeff is a real guy and gentleman! It was nice to get to know him and his journey. He owes a lot to that 6th grade teacher that saw his talent and kept him trying new challenges. We should all be so lucky to have someone realize our talent and give us a boost.

It’s like I heard Emmylou Harris say, “Music is too important to leave to the professionals.” Me, I say “Play for yourself first, your circle second, your audience last.” Not that the audience doesn’t deserve the best you can give them, but playing for the audience alone will not sustain you or give you joy, in my experience. Now, if I ever get to the place where large audiences turned up to hear me, I might change my mind.

What's the name of tims vocal record?

Great interview.

I hope you come back to Fort Lauderdale again.

Hello from Port Townsend

This interview is great on a bunch of levels. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Tim is top shelf in my book.

"I'm in the happiness business..." That says a lot, from within and outwardly. This is, to my mind, one of the best interviews I've had the pleasure to absorb. Thank you. I feel grateful and invogorated, inspired, and informed for a productive day of practice and composition.

Really enjoyed that. A lot of things that Jeff talked about rang true with me as an ex actor and a singing/harmonica player. Thank you for your channel and bringing Mr Daniels on and sharing his story. Wonderful. UK Based Musician.

Another facet of Jeff, good Travis picking! I liked your singing and and enjoyed the song, well done! Oh yeah......... almost forgot, you're a damn good actor! 😊

Great interview!

Both the interviewer and the interviewee seem like great accomplished human beings. What an interview! Thanks to both!!😢

A real musician with a day job!

I love that you love giitar

Tommy is unapologetically an entertainer.

Probably the best interview I’ve seen with Tommy. Very cool guy with a great passion to play for people.

Love this man!

𝄞 ♥ ´¨`•.¸¸.♫│▌▌▌│▌▌│▌▌▌│▌▌│▌▌▌♫´¨`*•.¸¸♥ Awesome, I didn't know you were a musician until I saw you on the Kelly Clarkston show and I didn't know you lived in Michigan. My hometown is in Michigan, not far from you, we're neighbors! I loved this interview and your songs are wonderful. I hope to see you play one day, (I love your acting too, BTW) ┈┈┈┈┈┈▕▔╲ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈▏▕ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈▏▕▂▂▂ ▂▂▂▂▂▂╱┈▕▂▂▂▏ ▉▉▉▉▉┈┈┈▕▂▂▂▏ ▉▉▉▉▉┈┈┈▕▂▂▂▏ ▔▔▔▔▔▔╲▂▕▂▂▂

What a great guy, I need to study and explore Jeff more.

Great interview! Jeff Daniels a Michigan treasure. I'm from Michigan. Been to The Arc saw JJ Cale (after show got back in line bought a ticket for his second show) saw him & Christine Lakeland twice in a row. Originally from Lansing so grew up going to Elderly Music. Love your work Jeff! Thanks!

Whaty a beautiful interview, Tommy share so much wisdom. "stay open, stay teachable" and so many others.Thanks for making this happen!

Thnx for this great interview.... Just subscribed your channel brother...

🎉🎉🎉thank you for sharing this interview. Very down to earth positive reflection of Mr D’Ambrosio and the Eastman team he is such a vital part of, defining why these instruments are highly valued. Oddly I am today scheduled delivery of a model DC62, s/n 24004. Likely you’re aware how grateful I am to be blessed as a steward of that guitar. Just considering the journey of raw materials making their way to combine sublime with harmonic resonance. Thank You 😊

Love Jeff ... All around American .. Where can I get an album? Put it out Jeff... please... I have 100+ songs... never had the balls... show US.. Yes, there's an US... show us that it's okay

excellent interview and fantastic job as host. How Jeff mention in the beginning “It will be refreshing to ignore the other thing I do," He just took us to another knowledgement about music .

Just stumbled across your channel and this episode, and it made me think about why I got into acoustic guitars in the beginning. Several years ago my mom was diagnosed with dementia. I researched this terrible disease, and it seemed I should strive to keep my left and right brains sharp as I aged. Always having a love for music and a firm sensitivity to the relationship between music and emotion, I decided to learn to play guitar at the age of 50. The acoustic guitar seemed to be the perfect fit for me in terms of my musical tastes, and to paraphrase Jeff Daniels in your interview with him, …"have you ever seen a group of women standing around listening to a guy play trombone?" So, I bought a solid top Yamaha FG800, took some lessons and jammed with other dads in my neighborhood. To cut to the chase, what I did not count on was this new found love affair I have with the acoustic guitar. I guess better to arrive late to the part that to not go at all, but I sure wish I had found this love 40 years ago. Anyway, I am a recent subscriber and am enjoying your content. Keep it up, John, and thanks!

Mike is a friend, I saw him twice with his trio, featuring Stephen Hodges and Watt, I always catch his performances here in FL.. I'm going to see him this month with Peter DiStephano . We talked about this particular interview and he really enjoyed talking with you in this setting.

What kind of thumb pick is he using??

Kinda sounds like the opening theme song from the Archie Bunker TV show.

Awesome and amazing, I love this. Sub now, and hope to meet again through both of our channels ,my friend. See you again 🎉

Truly an amazing human being 🙏🏻👍🎸🎸

He's old and copies Chet Atkins. Not a pioneer of guitar. Plays well but there's a many like him.

Well where is his “damn good guitar” playing?

"pushing music where I haven't been before" ....hallmark of a musical genius

That Martin story is amazing!!!

What a wonderful interview,not much a movie buff,but can relate to speaking through strings,and Elderlys professionalism,some of the best music ever is 1 or 2 on a porch

This interview as a whole was very warming to listen and watch. Maybe it was just the vibe between Tommy and the interviewer, but that was really wholesome. Thank you for a great listen all.

There are so many wonderful stories about guitars and having Jeff Daniels tell some of them is a rare treasure indeed! Thanks for this interview!

A great interview with one of my favorite actors.

Are you related to the other John Hammonds?

New to your channel. Appreciate the way you let your guest talk without interrupting. Jeff Daniels needless to say, is an amazing person!

Would love to hear that song about pants/relaxing 😂 That’s gotta be good no doubt!!!😆

Love Guild’s too!!!!

Anyone who appreciates and loves what Doc Watson did is sure ok in my mind!!!

Saw the fabulous interview then came here to see the playing. Really wonderful ❤️ and I love that Tommy keeps it all simple! The results when he plays are so phenomenal though! 😊

Wonderful interview with Tommy .. never grow up! I love this attitude to life too! He's the best ... I see him play at every opportunity for the past 16 yrs at least! Always gives me goosebumps and a warm heart. ❤xx
