By Donnie Johnston * Special to the Rappahannock News K Area musicians lost a true Inend last Wednesday when ^Iommi Reynolds died. Unless ;y°u pick a guitar or saw a bow across the strings of a fiddle, you probably don’t even know who Reynolds was. For those who don’t, let me explain that for some 25 years Tbmmi operated Culpeper Music on the northwest corner of Main and Cameron Streets.
Culpeper Music was a unique store and Tbmmi Reynolds was a unique man. Both became Culpeper institutions, especially for the music community. I thought of Tommi as one of my best friends. So did the several hundred other musicians who stood in a line that wound well into the funeral home parking lot on family night. It is hard to explain Tbmmi Reynolds to anyone who didn’t know him. He was bne of those people you felt you had known all your life five minutes after you met him. He was brazenly open 'with his political views while almost never talking about his personal life. We who had been around him almost a quarter of a century knew that he had a daughter and a grandson but beyond that we were clueless. The day he died we all had to guess at how old Tbmmi was. Most figured he was in his early to mid-sixties. Come to find out, he was almost 73. But he was the youngest acting 72vear-old man I ever knew.
