Tom Deaver


I must qualify by saying I hardly knew Tom Deaver: I don't have any of his instruments and met him only fleetingly at Bisei Shakuhachi Festival in 2007 but I remembered this picture of Tom in his workshop from Ben's Flickr stream. Ben used to visit Tom from time to time in Japan and once rode his bicycle up the incredible mountainous hills to get there. Tom Deaver passed away on 12 July 2010.
