Tom's success has to be attributed in part to his generosity of spirit. His love of sharing music is unparalleled and his humor is in a class of its own.
Tim Grimm, about Tom Pickett, Jammin' with the Stars
I began buying LPs and 45s from Tom in 1964. Bought an Alvarez Dove from him in 1971. He is a man of quiet wisdom and gentle humor, and a generous spirit.
Barney Quick, about Tom Pickett, Jammin' with the Stars
I am so excited to see and hear all of the "home grown" talent who will be performing at The Commons on June 28th. Tom Pickett has been a household name for my family since I was a little girl. What a great way to honor a "music man" who has taught and nurtured so many!"
