Ripped Ticket

Tom is one of my favorite people in the world. His sense of humor is brilliant for someone so young; dry, clever and most of the time just 'plain wrong'. He was the easiest baby, the easiest child, the easiest teen and I imagine will be the easiest boyfriend and husband too.

He never asked for anything until he  stumbled upon his passion for music and addiction to guitars. An addiction that has propelled his song writing talents in to an unimaginable maturity and quality for someone so young. His band, Groove Alliance provides a great platform for him to exploit his confidence and showmanship BUT WHAT IS WITH THE NAME!!!????? Andy and I have made countless suggestions - Ripped Ticket being top of the list and MY creation. Please Tom, get rid of the name that represents a bunch of old men trying to emulate the Glenn Miller Band and pick something that projects youth and creativty - AGAIN, like Ripped Ticket

With him now so far away I am just counting the months until he finishes high school and can come and join me in London.
