TW.net’s charity effort and raffle!
Tom Wisdom dot Net has always held charity efforts since the site opened in 2007. They have supported The NephCure Foundation since 2008 when the young son of one of the admins was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome. They asked Tom if that could be their charity of choice since it was very near and dear to theirs hearts and he was 100% supportive of them. The NephCure Foundation is the only organization committed exclusively to support research seeking a cause and cure for two potentially devastating kidney diseases, Nephrotic Syndrome and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Learn about Nephrotic Syndrome Learn about FSGS Every Fall, the NephCure Foundation holds fundraising walks nationwide (US) to raise awareness and money for research for a cause and cure of both NS and FSGS.

Fans want to see Tom Wisdom sport some fangsWe recently asked Tom Wisdom fans what they would like to see him do next. There were plenty of responses and there seemed to be a similar interest among them. One being of the cold, pale, and dead sort that you would find on the hit HBO series, True Blood. Tom isn’t a household name; most would remember him when described as the Captain’s young son that got his head chopped off in the 2007 blockbuster, 300. That could be to Tom’s advantage, though. Alan Ball, the creator of True Blood, has stated in previous interviews that they tend to shy away from casting A-list actors. The reason being? So viewers of the show see the characters, not who’s playing them. Smart move Mr. Ball.

The album is composed by Pinar Toprak and is light, relaxing, and perfect for a lazy Summer afternoon. It is the perfect background music for settling in with a good book or romantic picnic. There is a slight nostalgia to the music, bringing you back to a simpler time. The disc description states: Taking a wonderfully old-fashioned, thematic approach with the music firmly rooted in the tradition of melody, up and coming composer Pinar Toprak has written a very romantic score for Daniel Adams’ drama, The Lightkeepers. Set in the year 1912 on Cape Cod, the film tells the story about love, romance and friendship with Richard Dreyfuss playing the lead as an old, grumpy lightkeeper. The music is scored for strings, woodwinds, piano and fiddle and fuses long melody lines and beautiful harmony with American folk music elements. The music has been described as “wistful,” “lovely,” “lush,” and “engaging” in various reviews of the film. We are proud to bring you this romantic orchestral score that stays in your heart for a long time! READ MORE>>
