I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.

Tommy was the real deal based on the Texas Music scene! Very Talented! Plus a “Salt of the Earth” type person you wanted to be around!

Awesome, Ricky. I could listen to that all day long.

I gotta admit I had to look twice - that railing at first glance looked like it was the front of your steel! :whoa:

For something a bit lighter, I love Tommy's "Upside Down". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc9c7h80L1Y Had me chuckling all the way through. RIP Tommy, and thank you!
Many play better than I do. Nobody has more fun.
