RIP Tom. One of my favorite musicians ever. I've seen him many times and he always was fantastic. He will be missed but he will continue to be on my play lists!

One of my favorites. Way too young.

I went to college in Gainesville,Florida. That was his home town. I saw him play small clubs there in the early 1980's.

Very sad!
RIP

RIP Tom

Many memories (good and bad) with your music.
'American Girl' is still a song I'll never change away from, and 'A Woman in Love' was a very important song at a particularly down point of my life.
