tommythedrummer BEGINS

Hi.

This is Tommy the Drummer and this is the first page of my new blog.

It has been a few years since I worked Hotel Street and the Service Clubs in Hawaii and the Waikiki Scene--but I haven't forgotten those good old days!

Who COULD forget the night I almost got gunned down at the E-Club in Mosquito Junction, Pearl Harbor--or the night of the GREAT DONNYBROOK at Nora's on Hotel Street!

Or the night I almost had to eat a knuckle sandwich at the Kaneohe Marine Base E-Club?

Who COULD forget Duggie the Guitar or Mighty Vi or the Impact Trio or The Tidesmen?

Or the day Johnny's Porthole Johnny literally threw me out of his office--one-armed though he was--when I asked for a raise for my band.

So Long Gone but so Not Forgotten!

And these blog postings seems the perfect place to immortalize these, to me, stupendous events--as they say.

Well, I don't know WHO you are or WHY you take your precious life-time minutes--which will NEVER return to you, as you know--to look at this, my blog story--but you are welcome and more than welcome!

Best of the BEST to you!
