Fun Video From 2000: Tom Singing On Jools Holland’s Hootenanny
Saturday, December 26th, 2009Today, December 26, is Kwanzaa and, in the UK and Commonwealth nations, it is Boxing Day. Because I found out that lots of Americans don’t know what Boxing Day is, I wrote a column about it on my Huffington Post blog. (There’s a photo of someone you may know in that post.) Check it out!
Tom will be on Jools Holland’s New Year’s Eve Hootenanny on Friday night and, thus, it’s appropriate to look back and see what it was like when he was on a decade or so ago. (The photo at left is from 2000.)
That night he performed Take Me to the River and What’d I Say. I hope you enjoy them as much as he clearly enjoys singing these songs. It’s not great video, but it is great music performed by a great singer.
You can watch the it in the TJI.com Video Library.
(If you missed the post from December 24 — with the beautiful video — be sure to check it out below. And, if the photo of Tom in the Santa hat offended you as it did that person who calls herself Camille, I guess I should apologize but, in fact, since it was all in good fun — and the vast majority of you are smart enough to know that — there’s no apology necessary, is there?)

I love when Tom sings R&B. It’s always perfect. I also love when he makes those great stage faces. Whoever didn’t get it and objected to the picture of Tom in a Santa hat hasn’t seen him too much.

No apology needed! I’m sure that Sir Tom would be the first one to laugh. Hope all the fans had a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
