		Tommy Sexton was one the principal members of the Newfoundland satirical theatre troupe Codco.
		Sexton's gender preferences--he was openly homosexual in the days well before Ellen Degeneres made it chic--added an extra edge to many of his performances.
		While Tommy: A Family Portrait is a bit short on any discussion of the context of the times and Sexton's place in Canadian comedy, there's no question that it's an entertaining--and often hilarious--reminder that Tommy Sexton was amongst the greatest of Canadian comics.

		In 1994 and 1995, he formed and recorded with his new group, the Charlie Sexton Sextet, and his debut for MCA Records, Under The Wishing Tree, was released in 1995.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Touching tribute to Tommy Sexton
		A gifted mimic, singer and dancer, Sexton was arguably the most talented member of CODCO, and a consummate people person (he and I hung out one hilarious night at the Montreal Just For Laughs festival, where we cornered the director of a German comedy festival and grilled him about the history of whimsy in Germany).
		Their memories add up to one heartfelt tribute, Tommy: A Family Portrait, an NFB film directed by Tommy's sister Mary, which airs on CBC Nov. 15, and screens at the Bloor Cinema tomorrow in a benefit for Casey House (416-962-4040 #235 for tix).
		Tommy: A Family Portrait follows Sexton's life, from his childhood in the middle of nine kids in a Catholic family, to his first rambunctious steps on the stage in school, to his local theatre debut and fateful meeting with young actor Malone, nine years his senior.

	Fishman Transducers, Inc - Jacques Stotzem Bio
		Sexton first made his mark more than 20 years ago in adolescence — an old soul inside a prodigy, jamming with the likes of Joe Ely, Keith Richards, and Ron Wood, all of whom were dumbfounded not only by his prowess, but by the fact that he was influenced by the same things they were.
		The creative satisfaction Sexton took out of the record changed the way he thought of his career, in that “career” was no longer the operative word.
		The family was one reason Sexton came off of the road in late 2002; he was also falling back in love with the recording process.

	Anne Sexton
		Sexton's poetry was so confessional that it was hard to distinguish if she was writing about her life or if it was just fictitious.
		Tommy's back received "red roses" due to the fact that he was a broken scarecrow, but really because he was just going with the flow of the "dance," letting "Blue Lady" throw him around and toss him front wards and backwards.
		Tommy's arm was referred to as a "diamond had bitten it," his arm was really scratched in such a way that it looked like someone or something had bitten it.

	RTÉ Sport: Sexton's boot earns draw for St Mary's
		Jonathan Sexton showed his steely nerve once again as he kicked St Mary's to a flattering 12-12 draw against Buccaneers at Dubarry Park.
		If Sexton's penalty success in the final minute of normal time was vital, so to was his strike, from 35 metres out, just before half-time.
		Buccs were pinged for hands in the ruck, seven minutes into the second half, and Sexton duly bisected the posts for a 12-6 scoreline.
