A Power Pop tunesmith of the highest order! Melodic tunes of introspection, life´s regrets, and heart ache. He also could crank up the amps and rock out with anybody. His version of Lou Reed´s "Kill Your Sons" is incredible...he will be sadly missed. God Bless Tommy...

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long . Tommy left all of us a legacy of wonderful music and even better live performances. Everything he touched was always better afterwards.
