About
a Boy named Tommy
I was playing
some old Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers music one day while cleaning the
house, and my eleven year-old son bursts through the door…"Who's that playing, Mom? He's
fantastic!!!!!"
Here is our
story..............
Last spring, at my son's insistence, he and I traveled to
Pennsylvania (where we're originally from) to see Tommy
Conwell play his lounge act at the Blue Comet in Glenside.
|
| My son, also
named Tommy, brought his guitar along in the hopes that
TC would sign it. On that perfect day, my boy and I embarked on our special
rock n’ roll road trip. With the windows rolled down, the
sun shining, and the music blaring, we shared a day full of
fun and laughs. I wasn’t sure Tommy would be particularly
interested, but I told him about some memorable roadtrips
around 1985 and my impressions of another young guitarist
named Tommy Conwell.

I told my Tommy
from the first song of the first set, I was bowled over, and
completely hooked. TC was a true musician with fantastic
talent! TC had every eye in the club watching his every
move. He even played the guitar behind his back. Boy,
did my Tommy seem curious!

Tommy Conwell.
Still a great guy! He took time to talk to my Tommy,
asking him about his guitar lessons, showed him some fancy
fingering chords, signed the guitar, and posed for a few
pictures. A true talent and gentleman who made a great
impression on my son. Tommy's hope now is to be good enough
one day to jam with TC. Many, many thanks to Tommy Conwell for taking the time to
make an aspiring guitar player's day.
Thanks again for the
website-it's AWESOME!!!!!
