Etruscan-Lydian connection?

I've been reading Fred Woudhuizen's books on Luwian hieroglyphs, and
he includes a list of words that are very very similar in form and
meaning between Lydian and Etruscan.

Either Etruscan is a very wayward Anatolian language, or it's
borrowings of terms from Lydian means that the Tyrhhenians came from
somewhere in the Eastern Agaean.

Now, is this idea to be believed? Are his writings to be trusted?
