Today on Let There Be Talk my guest is one of the greatest rock n roll drummers ever Mr Tommy Aldridge.
Tommy sat down with me and we discussed his entire career in rock n roll including his days in Black Oak Arkansas, Pat Travers Band, Ozzy and Whitesnake.
It was an honor to talk to this man. His stories are absolutely incredible. A true Legend and I can't thank him enough for doing the show.
