On tour with the Irish Rovers we met Tommy in San Luis Obispo where we had a night off and planned to go to Tommy;s gi. After talking for a while he asked me to join him on stage for two numbers . Tommy;s gisg was an amazing experience and joining him for part of the second set left me on Cloud Nine .. which appened to be the namme of the room in which I was staying in in the Madonna Inn that night!
