Little Tommie or Little Lonnie Plays for Ronnie Honky Tonk Baby Bass
Little Tommie rocks the stage! I am going to guess Little Tommie's mommy signed the photo to Ronnie. As it is the first day here which will reach 70 degrees, I am also going to guess Little Tommie's name is Little Tommie. It MIGHT be Little Lonnie, so I am putting both in the title. I would rather be outside watching daffodils grow than trying to find out if Tommie did.
If any of you were in the audience and can ID this little honky tonker, please fill me in. Winner gets a t-shirt (really)
I am going to guess West coast, which means I am also going to guess Bakersfield.
