 Tommy
Goldschmidt was born in Bolivia. His father left Nazi Germany
in the late 1930's, just in time as it turned out, and went
to Bolivia, met a beautiful woman, and had a large happy family.
Tommy was the first born. At age thirteen, Tommy was diagnosed
with a rare heart condition which required an operation that
could only be done in Germany. His father had returned to
Germany and so Tommy joined him in Berlin, arriving in the
winter wearing 9 overcoats because his mother was so terrified
of the cold. The operation was successful. Tommy made a full
recovery and stayed in Berlin. Tommy was always banging on
something, always making rhythms. Back in Bolivia many of
his family members were musicians, he grew up with South American
rhythms. So, it was no surprise when he took up the drums
and played in school groups. From school groups to professional
groups did not take long. By the late sixties, Tommy was playing
with Karthago, one of Germany's most successful rock bands.
After 5 albums and many years with Karthago, he joined "Kraan"
for two albums before finally joining the "Paradise Island
Band."
