Well, this won't be much of a review but we certainly enjoyed Tom's concert this evening at the Chocolate Church in Bath, Maine. Tom looks good and sounds good, and seems in fine spirits.

There was a new George W. Bush song, an update on his Nixon Vietnam War song, which got a enthusiastic response from the audience. There were two songs dedicated to his daughters when they were much younger which I really liked. The most haunting song has to be the 9/11 song about the firefighters pounding up the stairs while everyone else is fleeing down, which he somehow managed to sing at a memorial service at the engine house adjacent to the Trade Towers site. There was a song in remembrance of Tommy Mackem and the Clancy Brothers. Then there were his old standards that everyone was pleased to be able to sing along on, and it was a singing crowd.

Tom was accompanied by Geoff Barkley (?) who also did a fine job. Geoff also led a wonderful song of advice to those just setting out on the road of life.

Here's to Tom!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
