What's New! What's Happening!
Tom's new Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band:
CHEESEBURGERS IN PARADISE
debuted in January '18, at Lakeside Yacht Club. Rockin' Buffett,
island, reggae tunes.
Members: Julie Slattery-keys, Jacob Kaminski-bass, Don Safronek-drums, Chris
Tarka-conga/percussion.
FRANKENSTEIN: THE ROCK OPERA enjoyed it's second production at
Arlene's Broadway on Buffalo Theater in Conneaut in October,
2016.
Return performances by Maria Cicco as Mary and Thompson Sherwood-Wohlert
were amazingly well performed! Tom tried his hand at playing Doctor
Frankenstein,
and had a blast!
Tom with Tyler Cogar, who played "Braston" in FRANKENSTEIN. Tyler, who up to then had
played mostly comical roles, absolutely rocked the stage as a truly evil
villain. He's a very dynamic, charismatic actor who commands the stage, and was
the perfect scoundrel!

Tom and Gayle on New
Year's Eve at Vermilion Amvets
They had the place all done up in tropical theme. The crowd was lively and
danced in the new year.
Took
a special trip to do a Buffettville show at DooLittles in Lambertville, Mich. These PARROTHEADS were
ready to party! Real hard core Buffett fans, they knew the words to
Gayle on conga. Palms trees included!

Samantha Fitzpatrick played a strong set and turned some heads.
Halloween
at Pipers Three Restaurant. Groovy, baby!
New Years
Eve at Irish American Club East, with Julie (the invisible lady!)

beautiful dance floor. We
all rocked in the new year!

GALE ON THE HORIZON Using paintings depicting storms at sea, this is a beautiful, haunting video.
