I just wanted to let people know that we lost one of Northern California's finest musicians on Thursday night / Friday morning, May 13th, 2011.
This is a deep personal loss to me and anyone who knew Tom. This last weekend, I played 3 gigs that Tom probably would have attended. It was real tough looking in the crowd and not seeing his smiling face. Although I have only know Tom for a few years, it feels as though I have known him all my life. What a wonderful man and friend. It will definitely leave a big hole in my heart.
Even with his failing health over the last couple of years, Tom always made an effort to come see my bands and others when he wasn't working. Having him sit in for a couple of tunes was always the highlight of the gig.
My deepest sympathies go out to Tom's family and friends. And, especially to Hubert "Brownie" Brown, Bill Enyeart and the rest of Tom's band, Dry Creek.
For anyone wishing to attend, there will be services held at:
Hilltop Community Church
> 3118 Shane Drive
> Richmond, California
Tuesday, May 24th
4:00pm - 7:00 pm.
It will be great to have all that knew him wish him a final farewell.
p.s. Sorry to anyone that viewed this post before I realized I forgot to post the date. I corrected that. This was one one the hardest posts I have ever written.
