Arghhh!! I wish I had known about this several months ago, we would have been delighted to have been able to have Tom perform at the Berkeley Old TIme Music Convention. But we have been booked up for awhile now.

I have called Laurel and talked with her about this and made some suggestions about other possible Bay Area venues.

Incidentally, Tom is indeed in the New Lost City Ramblers film which Chris Strachwitz and Yasha Aginsky are making under the auspices of the nonprofit Arhoolie Foundation. Arrangements were made to film Tom playing and to do an interview, all of this taking place in London. Some of this music and interview is in the film, along with many archival photos from the 1950s and early 60s and recordings of the Paley-era NLCR.

The film started off as a student project, and in that stage of development, Tom was not in the film. We are glad to have been able to remedy that omission and we thank the Mudcatters who encouraged us to do so.

We also thank the Mudcatters who have helped us to find archival photos, posters, etc. We hope the film will be done by the end of the year.
Best,
Suzy Thompson
