I am a man of very few interests beyond my family, great guitar music and a 1969 Camaro........ but most important, is my relationsip with Jesus Christ, without him I would be nothing......... There is no one that quite compares to the original.

I first met Tommy on Feb. 22, 2007 at the Music Farm in Charleston, SC. I remember he toured with the Greencards.....and he also said that it was his first time in SC. To my embarrassment, there were some people in the back drinking, shooting pool and talking loudly while he was playing. He finally got fed up with them and shouted ...and I quote..."shut up back there you piss pots or this guy (in a wheel chair no less) is goin' to come back there and kick your a**. Needless to say they shut their pie holes after that.....I most remember how after the concert, how nice and gracious he was while he spoke with me and others. I think he is the greatest guitarist in the world (who would argue?) He is also one of the most transparent and caring men I have ever met.
