Very good story both on Bud and Tommy. I have never meet Bud, but being a rock fan I have heard of him since the mid 80's. Do not know how long he has been...
Interesting point about Tommy.You're right to an extent, he really is pretty much of a passive personality and it often behooves him to work with someone more...
