'Sweet Emotion' run high on Talbot Ave.
Tom Hamilton, the bass guitarist for the legendary rock band
Aerosmith, was in Dorchester last week to jam with young
people at the Blue Hill Boys and Girls Club on Talbot Ave.
Hamilton came bearing gifts, too: an electric guitar,
keyboard and junior drum set for the club's Music Clubhouse.
