That's somewhat of an understatement, as Tom's actual 
last *tour* show (non-acoustic) performance was 
April 27, 1987, The Ritz, NYC.  (artifact: I attended, 
had to outrun muggers walking back to my hotel.) 
That's 19 years--a little less than 7,000 days ago.

Q1:  Is John Tefler also Tom's manager ( for 
non-Television 'stuff')?

***Q2:  Who/how do you think is financing this 
world tour which has got to be fairly expensive 
to do---even it's only a dozen dates? (Wild 
speculation encouraged.)

Hope he doesn't play Boston ...................
until after Europe, New Zealand, and the rest of 
the world--want him and band to be well-rehearsed, 
non-tentative, and sharp [unlike the Boston show 
in March 2005 which was the first one of that year's 
tour----and it showed.

PS:  Was the Claudia link I sent showing Tom 
sitting and playing his guitar on his lap 
(in a sorta pedal-steel-guitar style) dead or alive?
