Tom “T-Bone” Whyte would be on my short list if I were to spend the rest of my days on a desert island with one other person of my gender. He sings and plays harmonica and ukelele. I met Tom in 1981 and we have been in several bands including the Tall Boys and Alaric & the Smokey Mountain Visigoths, based in Boone, NC, where Tom and his family live.

Tom is an amazing cat. He has a Ph.D. in archeology and teaches at Appalachian State University. Read about Tom’s research. Why not get involved yourself?
