One of my favorites during my college years and started out in his hometown of Gainesville, FL. Haven't seen him live in awhile and he always put on a good show. Recently downloaded a hi rez version of his greatest hits that I'll be listening to tonight (though I have all his albums through the early 90's and 3 concert DVDs).
RIP Tom and I trust you will put on a great show for the folks we lost in Vegas.
