HEY FOLKS T.J. HERE, WELCOME TO THE WEB SITE, AND WHO BETTER THAN I TO EMBELLISH THE FACTS ABOUT
TOMMY JAY WALKER!
I ENTERED THIS WORLD ON A FEBRUARY THIRD ACCORDING TO MY MOTHER, WHO WAS THERE AND APPARENTLY AWAKE FOR THE WHOLE ORDEAL.
WHAT YEAR IT WAS IS A LITTLE FUZZY?
I WAS BORN IN THE U.S.A.
NOT WEST L.A. OR THE S.F. BAY
AS SOME MIGHT SAY.
BUT SOMEWHERE NEAR THE BUCKLE OF THE BARBEQUE BELT! IN A SMALL TOWN WITH A BIG TRUCK STOP A MEDIUM SIZED DRUG STORE AND A POPULATION HARDLY WORTHY OF MENTION. IN FACT IF THE "ROAD ATLAS" AND "THE STATE MAP" CHOSE NOT TO RECOGNIZE US, I FIGURE IT BEST BE LEFT AS A MYSTERY TO YOU READERS, WHO MAY OR MAY NOT CHOOSE TO BELIEVE ANY OF THIS. AFTER ALL, AS A SINGER, SONG WRITER. POET AND STORY TELLER, IV''E BEEN GIFTED WITH THE ARTISTIC LICENSE TO COLOR THIS STORY HOWEVER I SEE FIT!
THE TRUTH IS, I ACQUIRED MY FIRST GUITAR AT THE AGE OF SEVEN AS IT WAS CAST ASIDE BY MY BROTHER FRANKY, NOT MOMENTS AFTER HE OPENED IT (AS A GIFT) ONE FROSTY CHRISTMAS MORN. THE INSTRUMENT AND I WERE INSEPARABLE.
AT THE AGE OF TEN I SANG ON MY FIRST RECORD, AT FOURTEEN I JOINED A BAND, FINISHED THE NINTH GRADE AND DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. AT FIFTEEN AND SIXTEEN I GATHERED SOME LIFE EXPERIENCES AS A TREE PLANTER, CARPENTER AND FARM WORKER.
I RECEIVED "A REAL PAYCHECK" FOR SINGING AND PLAYING GUITAR AT THE AGE OF SEVENTEEN AND THAT SAME YEAR BECAME A "PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN".
I AM BLESSED TO SAY THAT IV''E BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE SUPPORTED MYSELF AS A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE AND RECORDING ARTIST EVER SINCE. WHAT HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN THOSE DAYS AND THESE HAS BEEN A WONDROUS LIFE OF EXPERIENCES.
IV''E HAD THE GREAT PLEASURE OF VISITING ALL FIFTY OF THE UNITED STATES, CANADA AND MEXICO, AND PLAYED MUSIC IN MOST OF THEM. I TRULY DO BELIEVE THAT, "THE JOURNEY IS THE GOAL"
IN CLOSING I''D LIKE TO SAY "GOD BLESS YOU ALL" FOR VISITING THE WEB SITE AND PLEASE, PURCHASE AS MANY CD''S, T- SHIRTS AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY AFFORD!
"THANKS A BUNCH" T.J. WALKER, OVER AND OUT!
