tom fowler
from: grahamco
anyone know why tom fowler left the 74 tour before it ended?
from:
biffyshrew (biffyshrew@aol.com)
he injured his hand playing football (leading to a new fz tour rule: no sports
for the musicians). he didn't leave
the tour, as he had to prompt his underrehearsed
replacement from the wings with a pointer and a chart of notes...
tom has a solo release 'heartscapes' which sounds a bit like level 42.
tom also played on steve hackett's 1978 release "please don't touch". also on the album was chester thompson, phil ehart, richie havens, steve walsh, john hackett, randy crawford and several others.
also, see the "fowler brothers".

last night i went to see ray charles play with the colorado symphony orchestra
at fiddler's green here in denver. at
the beginning of the show they were introducing a couple additions to the
orchestra and one of them was tom fowler on bass guitar!
i was shocked! i'm not sure
if he's regularly playing with ray or not.
nonetheless it was quite an amazing show.
no fowler solo though!

"georges m. bouhey" (georges@pond.net)
i played in a band called "ocean of air" w/tom and bruce
in early seventies, in salt lake city. we
had a fusion band with tom and bruce (drums, bass, guitar, trombone) and we also
had "club" band that played park city most of the winter.
