I got to see Tom in 2002 at a show he did 5 minutes from my house. For several years I watched his schedule of upcoming appearances in hopes I could drive 3 hours or less to see him.

I'd like tom add: Tom Knapp was a man in the tradition of 19th century men!<br /><br />Tom wasn't only a showman. He was an inspiration to many.
