The CD: It was a struggle to figure out what to put on this, my debut CD. I know my Mom would love a CD of standards. Maybe next time Mom! After many sleepless nights, I decided to go back to my musical roots. Gospel music has always been a driving, positive force in my life. I also thought it was important to include positive and inspirational songs. Many people in the gay community have been wounded by the church. I hope that by listening to these songs, the wounds will begin to heal and the loneliness will begin to subside.
Tom's "Goodnight Sweet Prince" (his love song to friends who have died from AIDS), was the number one single on the Outvoice Charts in the Spring of 2000. The song was also heard on The Learning Channel's "Slice of Life" which featured Peisha McPhee, Tom's vocal coach.
