What’s new: The Steve Todoroff Archives just acquired the photo archives of two legendary music figures - singer/songwriter Don Nix, and “King of the Blues”, singer Jimmy “Junior” Markham, expanding our collection into the world of music-related photos. We are thrilled to add these photos to our own existing collection and we will be showcasing them in the coming weeks.

THE TOMMY ALLSUP INTERVIEW.
The Steve Todoroff Archives is pleased to share this interview by our founder Steve Todoroff with premier Western Swing guitarist and producer, Tommy Allsup. Tommy is probably best know for losing the coin flip to Richie Valens on February 3, 1959, allowing Valens to join Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, aka J.P. Richardson, and Roger Peterson, the pilot of the private plane they had chartered, to meet an untimely death. A Tulsa-area native, Tommy has had an amazing career as a session guitarist, arranger and producer, with a career that has spanned over six decades. Listen to Tommy talk about his days as a session player with the likes of Buddy Holly, Buddy Knox, Walter Brennan, The Everly Brothers, Eddie Cochran, Kenny Rogers and many, many others. Tommy also talks about working in the studios of Los Angeles in the early Sixties with a young Leon Russell, who was just starting out in the session world. Hear Tommy also address the current controversy involving the recent claim by Dion that he was actually the one that flipped a coin with Richie Valens for the infamous seat on the private plane on that fateful night, and hear a selection of Tommy’s work, both well-known and obscure, straight from the vaults of TAMA!
