Music leads to sales. Spent ten years after school figuring out if I wanted to play music for a living (yes, while I played music for a living) or just live life as a freewheeling druggie. Finally, I chose both. Later, to survive, sobriety became a necessity. God won that battle and dumped me into the 'Circle of Life'.
I tried to retire. Had the financials laid out really well. But, as wonderful as they are, Bees aren't that challenging. I'm back staging corporate shows.
I love to work, keep bees (15 hives now), play music at the open jams around town and church every Sunday, watch the kids grow, let my wife put up with me for a while longer. Politics? I'm the precinct chair in precinct. If you knew my dad, guess which one...
Happy day, all!
I have too many stories and most would land me in jail (David Black, George Lanier). I'll wait for the Reunion to tell them...
Tom's Latest Interactions
Not entirely sure why I decided one summer that Summer School might be a good alternative to ALL summer fun, but I took a typing class, and a Texas History class. I met Alan Trietsch in the history class. For lunch, we'd often make a quick trip to his house to 'feed the zoo'. Those mad dashes home were the best part of summer school and only Alan can confirm all the items we crammed into those 30 minute lunch trips.
I very much enjoyed developing a great friendship over that particular summer. Alas, that was the last time I got to visit with him. I heard he'd taken a job with an A/V installation company near Highland Park after Mac so I stopped by to say hi. He was so extremely busy, 'Hi' was pretty much it. We made plans to get together, life got in the way.
Hey Alan, hope to see you sometime soon!
