Here's a picture of Tom, playing with the Desert Rose Band at the NCO Club in Hanau back in '93. I was lucky to attend this gig.

I seen Tom playing at the Atlanta Steel Guitar travaganza back in 1997. Anna and I watch him on the Wilburn Brothers show on RFD Channel every time they are on. He was a great steel player.All Steel players are my favorites.

Tom truly was one of the greatest steel players of all-time. His work with Buck Owens and then Rick Nelson in the SCB (Stone Canyon Band) is really neat. His widow, Rolene, is a friend of mine on FB and I am very honored that she is.

That "plane crash" sound you hear on the end of Rick's song, "Gypsy Pilot" from 1971 is Tom. That was the most haunting thing I'd ever heard on a Rick Nelson record - especially since he perished in a plane crash fourteen years later.
