Tommy Emmanuel - Initiation 25 (Official Music Video) Tommy said, "During my teen years touring the outback of Australia, I played mostly to Aboriginal audiences. With this song, I tried to tell a story of a ceremony with just a simple theme. It’s a ceremony that I am not actually allowed to attend, but I imagined it. When I played it for the Aboriginal people, they seemed to relate to it. Over the years, I’ve played it many times with digeridoo players and dancers improvising the performance with me. I felt like it was time to revisit this theme, and I’m pushing the boundaries of digital technology as I play this song live in the studio."
