Has anyone heard from him? I don't mean to pry, just want to know if he's alright.

Regards

I got a note from him a few days back, but I haven't tried calling him out of respect for his space. It seems like his life is just too full of other things these days. There are only so many minutes in a day.

If you're lurking Tom, we wish you all the best!

Take care,
-Peter

I've been friends with Tom for a while, and called last night, but couldn't get hold of him. I'll try again soon.

AFAIK, Tom's band is doing some road trips.
Rock on, dudes!

If that's the case, then that's very cool. His last post was just a tad disturbing, considering the one's before had been pretty 'happy-go-lucky'.

alright guys,
  someone on this board really pissed me off and i'm busier than shit.
i've had mass depression my whole life, but the past year was really bad.
the person that offended me is forgiven, of course.
  but..................  i've been w/ aron and some of the frat pack for a number of years. i'm NO better than ANYONE else and i took a hit from a friend that judged me in a bad light, so to speak, not to mention i'm selling
more pedals in a week than he'll sell in a year.
 i still build EVERY device personally. i have a bizz, family, band and job[for medical benefits for me and the family].
    i have no time for bullshit. i just want to be a friend. the moose man is right, my band is gigging....................
      peace,
         - tom[ troubledtom / troubledvariance, get it.... that's who i am and that's why my company is named as is. troubled ..yep, that's the deal.] i'm an artist and good friend.

Is great to hear that you're fine, Tom. I really wish you lots of luck with your band, and hope you sell more pedals.

Tom:

Had no idea you were just pissed...was just concerned as someone who's also had depression forever.

Peace

12hr drive there and 12hr back?  I think you should change your moniker from "troubled" tom to "flatass" tom.

I suppose the only good part is that you have enough time to work out a REALLY decent arrangement of "99 bottles of beer".  Of course, those in the know realize that what it really needs.....IS A DRUM SOLO!!  :wink:

Yer alright guy.

Hey Tom, good to hear you're allright, end even better to hear you're on the road. I've been playing a few minor things here and there and I'm ready to really start playing some 'real' gigs. :D

Best of luck, Tom!
