    It’s been so long, but it’s been exactly 40 years since Stevie performed live at the el mocambo on July 20, 1983, he was such an amazing player and every note he played there came from his soul

    When Tommy came out to Nacogdoches, Texas, I got to play Norbert. He was apprehensive to let a kid play it (can’t blame him) but I he let me do it and he told me to keep up the playing. A really great moment for me🎸

    Thank you so much for doing these videos. Tommy is a wonderful soul and deserves all the good attention, promotion, and praise you are providing. I love him as a brother, and know his dedication and relentless pursuit to honor his heroes has been unfortunately attacked by others. You are helping show the guitar world how giving, humble, and respectful he REALLY is... Yes he is an amazing musician, and he is an even more amazing and noble human. Hence, why I thank you for featuring Tommy on your channel. Hope to meet you at the Dallas Guitar Show next year!

      I think "tribute artists" like Tommy are weird. I get paying respect to fallen guitar heros and musicians, but when hes literally copying and mimicking SRV on stage and off stage even down to his mannerisms... thats a little weird. Hes not even being recognized or making money off of his own music, hes getting paid to pretend to be Stevie. Dont this tribute artists want their own identity when it comes to playing guitar and writing music.

    Having met and talked with Tommy at several clubs in the Dallas area I can tell you he is a very humble, extremely kind and accessible person as well as one of the best Texas Blues players. It's really hard to not think you are watching Stevie play when Tommy comes to life on his guitar. If you've never seen one of his live shows, do so, you won't be sorry.

    Eric Clapton even said he was intimidated by SRV’s playing. He said even himself had to stop or slow down to think about where to go next from time to time, but Stevie was a wide open flood gate. It poured out of his being to no end. SRV was allowed to be here by the grace of God for a few short years until he was called back to glory. This man here is a kindred spirit and is a great representation of what we lost but can be heard and seen again.
