Tommy Bolin died last night, when I heard the . news I just couldn’t see it in my mind. It was so hard to believe, I think it’s the first time I’ve ever shed tears over somebody I never met. It was such a shock, Tommy would have been playing In Atlanta two nights after his death. I had planned to go meet him cause I always admired his music.

TEARS FOR TOMMY
Tommy Bolin died last night, when I heard the . news I just couldn’t see it in my mind. It was so hard to believe, I think it’s the first time I’ve ever shed tears over somebody I never met. It was such a shock, Tommy would have been playing In Atlanta two nights after his death. I had planned to go meet him cause I always admired his music. Tommy was on the rise and he had it all going good-a new band, a new album and a very successful tour, but now, just like that, it’s gone, and I don’t want to believe it. I’ll remember him, his great guitar work and his masterful vocals forever.
I ask a favor of all, please! Don’t let Tommy’s image be overrun by thieves and crooks like the ones who picked at Jimi Hendrix like vultures. Kenny Bobb Morrow, Georgia
