Bob Tome was the guitarist in The Commodores! No, not that Commodores — the band of middle schoolers from Erie that was formed in 1967! He may not have played with Lionel Richie, but he did once play with Al Green. But before that, he was one busy guitarist in Erie in the 1970's playing for bands such as Group Therapy, Ma Brown, Chaser, Clockwise, Wave, and ATV.
