Tom and I were friends, then band mates, then roommates, and now mostly just brothers. I have watched Tom go from a searching high school grad to an “almost-famous” Rock star. I played various instruments in Tom Booth bands in the mid-to-late 80′s, and on through current years. Tom inspires so many people through his gifts. I cannot tell you what a friend he has been. 

We played together at the St Timothy’s Life Teen mass for 20+ years. We were living fossils! One of the highlights was when I played with Tom in Fenway Park in Boston. I basically had the keys to the place and toured all over the stadium.

I played on two of his CDs.

I Will Choose Christ (CD Recording) – 1993. Published by Cristo Music: Drums on “Show Me”

Fullness of Life (CD Recording) – 1988. Published by Cristo Music: Drums on “Long, Long Road”

I was very happy to be able to help Matt on his first recording. At the time he was lower budget, and was willing to use local talent to help him get his tracks down. I played shakers, tamborines and congas on many of the tracks. The most fun by far was the conga part for “You are the Lord”. I basically just hit the congas as hard as I could and tried to be inspired by Animal from the Muppets. I have been playing at Teen Mass with Matt for many many years, and it is fun to see how well known Matt is now. To my nieces and Nephews, he is a rock star. I get some serious street-cred for being his friend

I played percussion on many of the tracks of this album. I was honored to get the call to help he and Tom Booth (producer). Trevor still plays frequently with Tom Booth, and I has enjoyed being able to play with the both for concerts. Trevor is such alight to the world. His laughter is the most contageous thing ever.
