Been doing some reminiscing with some friends about the early days of playing and bands and such, and looking back on people who influenced our entry into becoming a professional musician. I gotta say that the guy who helped me get started and kept me in the game was Mr. Tommy Cass, and I owe a lot to him. I met him right after I bought my first guitar from Al Eyles, a Fender 400, and he referred me to Tommy for some lessons. Tommy got me right into a a real guitar, an Emmons PP, and got me started on the basics. He was on the road a lot, but always seemed to show up in town about the time a hit I bump in the road, and seeing him play was always inspirational. So this is just a shout out to a great guy and great player (as well as a great tech and rebuilder) who I owe a huge part of who I am to...thanks, Tommy!!

| I've known Tommy quite a few years myself. He rebuilt my Emmons P/P a few years ago. I visit as often as I can. It's a two hour ride but worth it just hang out with Tommy.And the guitars he has are just beautiful and play great.He is very meticulous about the setup.He's the best. |
