Tom Smith

Tom Smith


Just found out that my friend Tom Smith badly injured his leg this past weekend and had to be operated on. The surgery went fine, but he's out of commission for a while. :-(

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, Tom makes his living as a full-time songwriter and musician. Unfortunately because of this accident, he's had to cancel a bunch of upcoming gigs...this is exactly the sort of thing a fulltime musician DREADS happening. And Tom has no health insurance.

Please do visit Tom's 'Buy Stuff' page and consider downloading and paying for some of his music, which ranges from 75c up to $9.99. The page has lots of sample excerpts you can listen to for free. Most individual songs are 99 cents each.

If you don't want to buy anything but would like to show your support, even in a very small way, please do consider throwing something into Tom's Virtual Open Guitar Case.

Leslie is posting updates in Tom's Livejournal, for those interested, and his LJ also gives details on what happened.
