Backstage after the Hiroshima concert with Sasha(our eternal roadie).

Our last performance was outside in Ohmuta, part of their traditional “Dragon Festival” We were facing the sun, obviously, and it was 35 degrees C.!

This was a "going away" present to Take's manager from Steve and I.


My Drums

My FAVORITE card from a fan. In Nagoya,1999, when I was signing autographs in the lobby, a 9 year old boy named Takafumi, gave me this card. It says... "Dear Tommy...why do you play drums so well? My favorite song is "She Needs Her Daddy." Please come back and play another concert......" Then in July 2000, the boy's mother travelled from Nagoya to see our concert in Okayama..She came to thank me for sending Takafumi a New Year card from Paris...
