Howdy everyone...
My name is Tom Strauch and I play lead guitar and some keyboards for Geronimo. Our latest project is "Loves Lost & Found". It was a true joy to work with the guys on this one. We all were part of the mixing and decisions on the arrangements. I think you will really enjoy this one.
I was born in San Antonio,Tx where I have lived all my life. Grew up a good little Catholic boy where I graduated from Central Catholic High in 1972. I lived in a small house with 2 brothers and 2 sisters on the north side of town.

Occupation: Television station Asst. Chief Engineer for WOAI-TV
Musical Influences: As a kid my father would play guitar and a french harp as we called it. We would sit in the back yard sometimes, me, my brother and dad. Dad would play and practice. We always enjoyed country music and to this day I truly enjoy traditional country. I guess dad is the one most responsible for teaching me how to play the guitar. He taught me a few chords and I just fell in love with it. I never did learn how to play the harp, I probably should have. Dad and I would get together at Christmas time and camp-outs and play for the family or who ever would listen. One of my favorites is "Sweet Bunch of Daises."Growing up I listened to Johnny Cash, George Jones, Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. I would listen to Buck over and over trying to pick out the guitar sounds of Don Rich. I believe Don was the second most influentual performer.
Hobbies:I love photography. Boating is another favorite and I guess since I am webmaster for the Geronimo pages I enjoy computers...And now also Recording Engineer for Geronimo's newest CD "Loves Lost & Found".
