Frogmore above asked how Tommy Thompson is doing. See Jessie's Letters, which is part of The Original Red Clay Ramblers web site. Jessie is Tommy's daughter and she posts monthly updates. For those who don't know: Tommy Thompson is in the slow decline of Alzheimer's disease, and is in a skilled-care facility (nursing home). Apparently he still enjoys music. The web site gives lots more details, and makes good reading.
