tom -
"Just tom" comes from a large,
musical family wuth whom he started singing and playing
music with as a young child. Like many musicians, he
started singing and playing music in the church choir
and school music programs. Later, after moving to California,
he began recording and playing music with his good friend,
lead guitar player, sound engineer and producer, the
late Mr. Rafael Holguin. Working together on the project
called "The Oneness Band"
along with other friends three albums were released
from 1997-2004. When Ray passed away two and a half
years ago tom took a sabbatical for a couple of years,
during which time he met Mr. "Big John" Wheeler
and started this new project, "Residual
Sugar," along with great guitarist
and long time friend and recording partner, Mr. Robert
Crummett.
