     I would be very interested in the name of the CD.
     
     Tommy's Who roots go very deep, maybe his name is auspicious.
     He suffered thorough a heavy indoctrination of The Who and especially 
     "Entwistle" during his formative years in the early 70's, much of it 
     started by Yours Truly. 
     
     Later he was a Moon-influenced drummer (he now is a guitarist) in my 
     brother's band Blue Steel, named by me after the nuclear-tipped 
     standoff missile carried by the Royal Air Force's Avro Vulcan Bomber 
     (I still have paint I peeled off a Blue Steel, at rest, of course).
     
     My brother and I made sure he was influenced by the latest crushed 
     velvet suits (from Take6 on Oxford Street) and other outlandish 
     apparel, which showed your entire anatomy in bas-relief and made it 
     impossible to sit down, much less put anything in your pockets.
     
     Needless to say, Blue Steel played a mix of Who, Stones, Purple, Rory 
     Gallagher, etc., through Marshall stacks.
     
     And he truly kept the faith, as some of us became suits, he still is a 
     groupster, which is what we all thought we would be...
     
     Kudos to Tommy Keene!
