Hi All,

Wow!! It’s been a while since I have updated. Been doing lots of drumming and with 3 different bands. The Grey Men haven’t done any gigs this year but I have been doing more writing. I have 3 different songs on the go right now. Check out my latest song called Something Funky. It is an instrumental tune and my brother Webb helped out by playing Bass on this song.

Thomas Alexander and the Fusion Experience is going well and we just recently played a very successful gig featuring our band and another band. It was a gig at a community hall and it was a packed house! Most of the bands I have played with are trios, so playing in this band is unusual for me cause it’s a six piece band. What’s also nice is that I’m not the lead singer! It’s a lot easier just playing drums.

The Support Group is the name of the band that I gig with on Saturday afternoons. We’ve been doing the Saturday Jam at a club called The Leaf for a couple of years now. It has been great and it’s nice to have somewhere to play on a weekly basis. We have become part of a little community there.

The biggest thing that happened to me this year is that I turned 65 years old in September. I’m a certifiable ‘old guy’ now. I am very thankful to be healthy enough to still be able to play and sing at a high level. I think that what helps me is the teaching. I have been teaching drums and guitar at a  place called Resonate Music School for the last few years.

Got some Halloween and Christmas gigs coming up so that should be fun.

Can’t believe I’m 65. Never thought I would make it this far! lol.
