From the 2010 Georgia SGA Show Atlanta, GA USA
Here we have one of the greats of pedal steel and also an entertainer with his antics on stage.
I first met Tommy in the mid 70's when he was moving to Atlanta and needed a place to stay for a few months. Tommy moved in with Linda and I while he was searching for a new home.
Tommy was one of the largest supporters of the GaSGA and would attend and play for virtually every show we put on.
Sadly we lost Tommy in 2021 after a double lung transplant.
Enjoy one of deareste friends.
Mr Tommy Dodd and his MULLEN steel guitar.
