I’ve never seen a video of it , but he was playing what must have been a glass or lucite guitar , about 1/2 full of water with a goldfish swimming in it .

Have never seen it again , but then haven’t looked online for it either .

🤔

Classical Gas, but just one guitar played by one of best ever, Tommy Emmanuel.
Take a great song, let a great player interpret it, and this is what you get.

Love this particular clip, with all the cardboard cutouts of Mason as the orchestra.
Alas, even thought he's playing the guitar part dead on, we don't hear him playing live.
There's no mic on his guitar, so everything we're hearing is the record.
Not complaining; merely observing.
