My one chat with Tommy was in 1977 or so, at the Rusty Nail in Sunderland, MA. I hopped right up on the bandstand between sets, to propose that the band play at my college in Florida. The memory is so vivid, still, because of his openness and just the sweetest smile.

In the late '50s until at least 1960, the Kansas City Downtown Commission ran a campaign to attract consumers to downtown KC at nigh. Television station KCMO ran ads in Broadcasting magazine to solicit advertisers. I wonder whether "C'mon Downtown" was the work of the Commission? I didn't pay attention to the lyrics. Anything suggesting it was about KC?
