Tom was no ordinary bloke. Like Ringo, Tom was born in Liverpool, England. At an early age he decided to give drums a whack...and a smack and...well you get the idea.... A founding member of Donny Lonigan's skiffle group, Tom was really "gear" and "groovy". Often referred to as the "sixth Beatle," Tom tired of the English music scene. He immigrated to America and soon was "mucking about" with the Poyntless Sistars who are so happy to have him.
