NJGMS Monthly Meeting |

We open the 2008-2009 season with
guest artists and luthier Tom Doyle. Born into a
musical family, Tom's first guitar was a gift from his parents at the age of
eight. Requests to play for dignitaries at the New Jersey Governor's mansion,
and private parties given by socialites, many of which were attended by the
Kennedy clan were typical. By the time Tom was 19 years old, he and his
sister, Susan, developed a Les Paul and Mary Ford act. It was so good it was
brought to the attention of the original duo. When Les Paul paid them a
surprise visit one night during a show, it was the start of a life-long friendship.
As a result, Tom has been with Les Paul as his sound engineer for the past 35
years and has played gigs with him from time to time. During this time, Tom Doyle received rave
reviews of his performance at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society in Note: there is a rehearsal
for Columbus Day Parade
of North Jersey preceding the meeting (5:00-6:00) Presentation 6:30-7:15. Free for members. $10 donation all other
guests. Room #5. |
