2

ALRIGHT!
JUST GOT OFF STAGE AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN ATLANTIC CITY. WHAT A CROWD! THIS PLACE IS JUMPING. I’M IN MY DRESSING ROOM ABOVE THE STAGE AND THE PLACE IS GOING NUTS. LET’S SEE I PLAYED: GET OFF, GOOD TEACHER, SHOTGLASS, RACHEL FAY, 19, UPSIDE OF LONELY, I GOT YER COUNTRY RIGHT HERE, ROCK ME RIGHT AND HENHOUSE.
GEORGE THOROGOOD IS ABOUT TO HIT THE STAGE. I GOT TO GET DOWN THERE AS HE WANTS ME TO SIT IN WITH THE BAND ON HIS SECOND SONG “WHO DO YOU LOVE”
HE FOLLOWS “WHO DO YOU LOVE” EVERY NIGHT WITH “THE FIXER” HE TEARS IT UP.
I SPENT THE AFTERNOON HANGING WITH GEORGE. WE COVERED A LOT OF GOOD STUFF: STONES, J. GEILS, DIMAGGIO, MCCARTNEY, TONY CURTIS, TOM JONES, TED WILLIAMS, ALI , YOU NO THE GREAT ONES……GEORGE DELIVERS EVERY NIGHT…..THE GREAT ONES ARE GREAT BECAUSE THEY COMPETE AGAINST THEMSELVES. THEY EXPECT THE BEST EVERY AT BAT, EVERY FIGHT, EVERY SCENE, EVERY SHOW, EVERY NIGHT!! IT’S ON I GOTTA GO…..I’LL FINISH THIS TOMORROW.

ON THE ROAD…..SOMEWHERE IN PENNSYLVANIA. PLAYING THE FORUM TONIGHT IN HARRISBURG. SOLD OUT….CAN’T WAIT TO HIT THE STAGE AGAIN.

    Tom:
    What time do you usually go on and how long is your set?

    Thanks

    Hey,
    I'll take a quote from Artimus Pyle at a Skynyrd show I was at in 1988 I believe. The show was in Olean, NY and it was an outdoor show and Artimus stood up behind his drums and said:
    "Hey, how about some of you sitting in the back, get off your asses and come up here and join the show".
    So remember, that's what time the show starts, when you get up and join the show and that's what happens when you see Tom live. You get up and join the show.
    Get out there and hear this stuff live!
