| Wednesday, September 16th 2009 - 12:20:22 PM |
| I've seen you play live a few times with Whitesnake and Ted Nugent, as well as listening /watching many of your recordings /videos. Simply amazing is all I can say! The hand drumming is something that I have yet to see anyone else do. You're the reason I chose Yamaha when I got my first "real" set. Hope to see you again in concert sometime in the near future, or catch a clinic. Keep Rockin'! |
| Tuesday, September 15th 2009 - 10:31:58 PM |
| I was right up on the stage at Cal Jam. watched you beat the drums with your hands--better than most play using STICKS! After that, I was inspired by you to become the drummer that i am today--in 4 bands in NorCal, up in the HIGH Sierra Mountains. Rock-for-friggin-EVER, Tommy. Cheers, Concrete Pete Paradise, CA. Way the hell up in the mountains, God's country... |

//Nick Hey Tommy, You have been an idol of since I first listened to you with Pat Travers on Heat In the Street album. Since then I have followed you from Pat Travers through Ozzy and whitesnake. I met you and Rudy Sarzo for a VERY brief moment when you guys were with Lezlie West at Who's In The Grove, Miami Florida back in the late 80,s. Your double base technique inspired me to play drums but could never get down like you. Maybe someday we will meet again. Keep on rockin' Nick - pompano beach, florida |

//http://www.sundancerproductions,com Mr. Aldridge, I met you briefly about 18 months ago when you visited the Presbyterian Church in Santa Ynez. I live in the Valley and am currently managing an artist in NJ who has greatly been influended by Thin Lizzy. He currently released a CD of original works with Tony Franklin providing the bass tracks for all songs. I understand that the TL tribute band you were touring with has disbanned for the moment due to your injury and the exiting of the lead guitarist. Do you plan on soliciting another guitar player? I would love to send a disk out for your review. Please let me know and hope you are on your way to recovery. Thank you for your time. |

//Paul I listened to you you play for three decades and heard all the albums.I enjoyed your stuff on this Site and listened to them all. Saw you play in Berlin when the wall came down. Up there with DC, Stevie Vai and the boys during the Slip of the Tongue days. My brother Dave always praised you and I realise you are a very modest and human guy after reading your Site. Long may you continue in good health and keep us entertained for another three decades. Much respect,Paul (Devon England). |

//Carl Tommy, you should remember your Black Oak Arkansas days with some degree of fondness instead of it being a rip-off and a waste of time. You have every right to be mad at the guy with the initials B.S., but not the guys you went on stage with every night for 6 years straight. BTW; what made you want to try Solvang? Yah, the air's clean, but it's a little too quiet. |
