My favorite guitarist is Rik Emmett. I've seen him so many times. My wife likes him too and we see him each year. Nowadays he does an acoustic duo serving of his Triumph classics, which is a great offering.

I have two tickets to a really historic old theater near my wife's hometown. She had to go out of town for work so I will probably bring our daughter along - she isn't a Rik Emmett fan but she loves concerts.

Anyway, my wife just called to tell me that he announced on Facebook this is his last performance before retiring. I knew he had some illness the last two shows.

So glad I got a ticket to see this. I don't have celebrity/musician/guitarist "heroes" but he is probably the biggest musician inspiration for me. It will be my last time seeing him.
