Balvack Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Tommy Smith is a must see/hear!!!I must admit I've found Tommy to be a bit of a disappointment on more than one occasion. In my experience he's always played better & been more interesting when he's not in a suit. Not quite sure of the correlation there, but there you go. ?(Keep your fingers crossed he's in slacks and a T-shirt 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
