This Video touches me. Seems like many of you who commented knew Tommy.  I knew him too when I was 12 years old in 1963. To us he was Brother Tommy.He was our minister. He baptized myself and brother and sister in our small church in Lincoln, California. My late Grandmother, Floyce--loved him dearly. We all did. Wanda--by chance if you ever read this, know that he and you and Ronnie left a mark that I will always cherish and remember.

My dads band would back Tommy up when he was at the end of his career. He used to come to our house and loved my mommas fried chicken. RIP Leonard!

Amazing country music history. 5 Stars for the importance.

It's like being there! Next he'll pull out an old reel to reel tape recorder so you can listen to some songs he wrote for Merle. How did Tommy and his family end up in Ocala, Florida where I met him? I wish somebody could help me with that part of the story. I was headed to California. Tommy sent me to see Buck.

This is awesome! I knew Tommy. Played bass in a band with him, briefly. 1972. Used to go to his house to practice. He had a gold one on the wall.

Wow, awesome video even though it breaks my heart to think a song writing giant like this had to hock his amp. I gues Nashville has never been good to the folks that make the machine all the money. Bastards.

[bulbheadmyass]

This is a great vid, the story about his amp at the pawn shop is precious.

the pissed-off preacher rules!

Wow! This must be from around 1980. Is this video taken at his house on Randy Rd. in Ashland City, Tn.?

[hanshaggstrom]

It was 1979 in Nashville, Tn. I think the address was Music circle.

/Hans

[sipco54]

I think you may mean Bernard Circle. It was at the time in his life that he was just about to quit drinking alcohol. (1982) Take care Hans...Tommy Jr.
