TOM GILLAM: Music/Video

THE MAKING OF "FIRST OF ALL"
Releasing a CD requires a lot of time, money and patience. It also helps to have friends. When Tom Gillam felt it was time to release a solo album, many favors were exchanged . Now, after many months of work Tom Gillam's solo record is a reality. "FIRST OF ALL" is a collection of great songs and players. Tom thought it was only fitting to pay tribute to the people who worked on 'FIRST OF ALL", as well as the people who continue to work with the Tom Gillam team.
