Tommy, I so admire the pure fact that you are absolutely 100% NO BULLSHIT.... you lay it down like it is, and back it up with a heart that beats as solid as your Kick Drum.... Hot and Steady.... True and Heavy..... I love you Brother for holding down the Beat that keeps us movin through life.......witnessing your passion that you put above all else is inspiring....if we all put our hearts into it as much as you do we might crack this thing right open....I always be your wingman!

in my life
he is laughter
snuggled up next to me at night whispering stories and smoking cigarrettes like an old movie actor in a black and white film
in my insides
he is everything familiar
where he sings to me
and others find him in the middle of the desert playing on a lonley piano
so that they cry
and he may never know
how deeply he is loved

You make me smile!
Your heart is genuine and open!
And anytime you want to get down on 'Freak Mt'!! I'm there with ya baby!
I LOVE YOU!

Okay, more seriously this time, and more gramatically correct:
Tommy, in a nutshell:
He has unwittingly, and unknowingly, accelerated my own self-recognition. He told me once that I was a...oh wait, maybe that's a secret,...
...furthermore, Tommy is the most engaged person I have met to date(that is January 17th, 2006!). I look forward to meeting a more appreciative person of the conflict of passion/life, and doubt that such a person exists. There. That is my testimonial, as it pertains to Tommy Cappel.
