“I’ve worked with a lot of music professionals and band leaders in my drumming career, and rarely have I encountered an individual possessing more appetite for musical excellence; more discipline as an artist; and more inspiration as a human being. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for the wisdom, tutelage, and care of my long-time friend and mentor, Billy Buchanan”
— Tom Knight (TLC, Monica, Voice Over Emmy Winner)
