Paul showed a lot of courage in this fight. He has become a great inspirational musician with an amazing band. Go see him if he comes your way, you will not be disappointed. I saw him for the first time a few weeks ago and it was the best concert I'd seen in 20 years.

Talk about being a thorn in his side...lol He gave it his best, that's all ya can do. Im just glad Paul Thorn found his real calling, cause his music is awesome!!! He's one hillarious dude! I hope to meet him someday! He sings a song about this fight called,"I'd rather be a hammer, than a nail" lol He says that is what Roberto Duran said to him after the fight. lol

Dana Bause It was a great show, the whole band was there and they did all acoustic this time. It was at the House of Blues here in Houston, a couple of weeks later Robin Trower was there, that was a great show also.

Robin Trower, lol, didnt expect to hear that name ! I listen to my brothers albums from time to time....he had one Trower album. I like all kinds of music myself....even big band music, which I heard growing up . You know the folks were in a good mood if they were dancing to the big bands.lol Most of the music these days is garbage. Ever notice the eygyptian themed music videos or like the superbowl halftime shows....its all satanic symbolism. Real crap! If you havent noticed it...watch next time you see one.

Dana Bause --Trower is 70 years old!!! You should listen to his new cd, he's as good as ever, he has a new singer who's almost good as James Dewar, I was pretty bummed when Dewar died but Trower always has the best singers.

Paul, I've been listening to your music and your stories for close to 15 years. Your music resonates in my soul, it inspires me, makes me smile, puts me in a good mood, each and every song! Especially Turnip Greens and Butter My Biscuit! You are a tough SOB, you held your own, big time in that boxing ring! I must say though that I would never have recognized you!!! You look nothing like this at all!!! You have definitely gotten better looking with age!!! Don't get me wrong, nothing against your 22 year old self, but your 52 year self, fine as frog hair! Your wife is a lucky lady!!! I'm glad he didn't mess up that handsome face too bad! It has had a good 30 years to heal!!! Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God. Your amazing! I can't say enough good stuff about you! Thank you for: I Have a Good Day Every Now and Then, Where Was I When You Stopped Loving Me?,Temporarily Forever Mine and of course That's Life!!!! You would have no way of knowing this but those songs got me through an abusive relationship, a messy divorce and a depression I wouldn't wish on anyone. Thank you!!! I'm crying as I'm typing this, damn it! Thanks for being you!!!!

+Roy Alderman I met him a couple of week ago after his concert at Skippers Smokehouse in Tampa. He was the nicest guy, very approachable and polite. Always had time to answer questions and pose for photos. You are correct. I bet he could throw down at the drop of a hat if need be. I have a cover of "If I can get over her" on here as well. A little rusty. I hadn't picked up my guitar or sang for a while. Hope you will check it out. Enjoy!
