Tommy Joe Ratliff - "Living it" HD

I saw an interview of Tommy where he remarked that a year ago he was sitting in a cubicle answering phones with a headset on and now he was "living it" (his dream). That got me to thinking. I had seen other interviews and other clips showing how he came to realize his dream. I pulled them all together here. I had a blast putting this together. I learned so much about Tommy Joe and about video editing!
I DO NOT own these clips. I have to say a great big thank you to the people who inpired this video, Juneau and Xena's Salon for the interview of Tommy and Monte, Libracats for the interview of Tommy outside on New Years, and I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you to the mutilipe people who provided all the clips I used. The list is so long, please everyone just know I am grateful for your hard work.
I DO NOT own the songs I used. Ring of Fire, by Adam Lambert; He's Got Something Special by Hanna Montanna; What do you want from me by Cover Gru as inspired by Adam Lambert; and All Star by Smashmouth.
Tommy Joe seems like such a sweet and gentle, geniune soul to me. I am so happy for him that he has had the chance to realize his dream as a guitar/bass player. Everyone deserves a chance to live their dream.
After all that is what makes life worth living right?
Hope you all enjoy this montage as much as I enjoyed making it.
