STYX' official web site, Styxworld, has reopened the Bulletin Board in the STYX lounge.  If you haven't been there lately, it's worth going back for exclusive Styx content, photos, videos, new and old music, ticket pre-sales as well as priority seat for tickets sold via Styxworld.  Another great way to keep up with Tommy's career in STYX.

Tommy once again took part of the NAMM convention and reunited with his Damn Yankees buddies.  Check some of the cool videos out on YouTube.

Last September 19 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Tommy was offered to play with the authentic guitar of late Bo Diddley.  What a thrill it was for him to play Styx’ classic song “Midnight Ride” after an emotional introduction and tribute to Mr. Diddley by James Young.  Tommy even left Diddley’s sheriff badge on the strap and seemed to really have a good time playing it.  Here's a souvenir of that great moment.  Photo by Jason Powell.

Yesterday, the world lost a great legend.  Les Paul died at age 94.  Tommy was fortunate to have met him and jammed with him as you can remember in the photo album. 
Last night, Tommy gave a radio interview to Steve and Johnnie on the Chicago station WGN during the show "Live After Dark".  You can hear it by following this link.
