I ran into Tommy Duncan Friday at Sweetbay supermarket in the pasta section. I was very glad to meet him again since I have not seen him since the blogger meeting at Wings Gone Wild on Bay To Bay about three years ago.
In case you did not know, the Sticks Of Fire blog is down. It was once the biggest blog in Tampa and two years in a row voted by Creative Loafing magazine as the best blog in the Bay. Tommy was the owner of that blog. I asked him what happened. Many things got in the way.
The economy has not only affected cab drivers, it has affected normal people, as well. Tommy, and his associates, went into survival mode when the economy went south, and Sticks Of Fire suffered as well (I would leave a link, but Norton says it is infected with Malware). Sticks of Fire is no more. That is a total mind freak to me.
Tommy is now working on a new project. He is the regional editor of a sports blog called SBnationtampabay.com. He goes by the name of Gregg Burrage. The site is awsome, and I hope he does well.
It is always a reality check when you hit in the face of how life moves on for everyone. The irony is weather you are ready or not - it will.
Tommy still has his rock band the Johnny G Lyon Band featuring Tommy Duncan, and they seem to be still putting out hot music.
