What a great time I had this past Saturday night!  I thank the Teal Nation for making my first Lost Boys appearance in seven months a very special night.  The Push Push Theater was packed, the crowd was full of energy, and I got to see a lot of faces I haven’t seen in a long time.  It felt good to once again be Tom for an evening and to perform with seven other Lost Boys-even at the same time!  I enjoyed getting to perform once again alongside String, Capt. Crosby Nash, Aaron the Moor, Wicked Pete Speakeasy, and Brother Ignatius Loquacious Righteous as well as perform for the first time with Sven Bjornjensenjensenjen(?), the helmeted Norse bassist,  and William Son of William (We Think), my successor.    I would like to thank any of the Teal faithful who stray onto my site for so many years of love and support.  You still haven’t seen the last of Tom, and I hope some of you keep Andy on your radar as well.

The next Atlanta area show for me is at Galactic Quest in Lawrencevile at 7:30 on August 8!  Like the April 4 show, I will do primarily originals but also a few covers and traditionals as well as a few other silly things, plus some drumhead giveaways!  At Fan Appreciation this past weekend I raffled off the snare drum head that was used to record Heroes and Scoundrels and that withstood a number of other memorable Lost Boys events, such as the first two Fan Appreciation shows and the DragonCon show.  I have more of the heads that shared the same storied history that I was not quite ready to replace as of last weekend, but I will have them off in plenty of time for the August 8 show.  So if any of you had your eye on that snare head during the giveaway, don’t sit around feeling jealous of Mary;  c’mon down to Galactic Quest, located on Highway 120 in Lawrencville between Phoenix High School and Captain D’s.  We’ll have a great time, and you’ll get to hear some songs I didn’t play last time I was there.   And by the way, while I will be in Phoenix the weekend before that, I encourage all the Atlanta crowd to catch Matthew Trautwein there.  He always does some nice classical guitar music, some of his originals, and the covers he was commissioned to learn at previous shows.  I can honestly say I’ve never heard a more entertaining one-man cover of “I still write your name in the snow.”

Recording drums for my CD this weekend!  Stay tuned and I hope to see you August 8!
