About us
Thommy and Mary
In the midst of our first Stones-exhibition
Our names are Maria (Mary - a housewife) and Wolfgang (Thommy - a journalist) THOMAS, born 1949 and 1951, we have two sons (Kevin, 1978 and Colin 1982 ). We live in Siegen since June, 1979. Siegen situated in the western part of Germany between Cologne and Frankfurt.
”Heartbeat′s One & Two“ Award
We received our first award from
”Heartbeat′s One &Two“
Whilst Mary prefers the music of the Beatles, Thommy's heart belongs to the "Stones", but the "frontiers" aren't so strictly as they have been in the Sixties. And: We are a little bit proud that during the last 20 years we met and talked to some of the people, who gave us so much pleasure with their music from the Sixties on: Bill Wyman, Ron Wood and Mick Taylor (The Rolling Stones), Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), John Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas, Scott McKenzie, Dave Dee, The Dubliners, B.B. King, Achim Reichel und Henner Hoier (The Rattles), Peter Kraus, Wolfgang Niedecken (BAP), Greg Lake (Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Asia)...

We had a nice meeting with Chuck Leavell, once member of The Allman Brothers Band and now long-time-keyboard-player for The Rolling Stones, in Bad Berleburg (Northrhine-Westphalia) on September, 10th, 2007. He was on a tour to promote sustainable forestry playing concerts and talking with German wood farmers and politicians. For us he signed a copy of the lp ”Sea Level“ from 1977 and a page in our book ”The Rolling Stones Over Germany“. www.charlane.com
