Tom Wholley and I followed each other around the fleet, from Newport to Little Creek to Yokosuka. Every time one of us reported to a new band as the other was transferring out, the newcomer would become known as "the other piano player."
Following Tom wasn't easy. He's a fine pianist with an intuitive understanding of jazz. It's great to have him here at an NMA reunion, though I'm still not sure which of us is "the other piano player."

Tom is a great pianist and friend. He wrote some great charts for me in Newport. He is a vocalist dream. Here's to you Thomas, lol.
