Born in Algiers, Louisiana, on June 8, 1940, to Thomas Jr. and Margaret Belala Harvey, Tom Harvey has 1 sister

Melanie and 2 brothers Bobby and Kenny. Tom attended Adolph Meyer Elementary and graduated from Martin

Behrman High School in 1959.

"Come sit with me for awhile. I want to teach you how to play the piano", his mother said. And at the age of 12 he

learned to play the piano and bass guitar. With Tom on bass, he would accompany his mother playing lots of old

songs. When he wasn't playing music, he was playing some sort of sport.

Three years later, as a sophomore at Behrman High School, he met "Boo" Hargis who played saxophone. It was then

they put together a band called, "The Belmonts" with Billy Fayard on drums, Bob Albarado on guitar, Yetta Berges

and

"Boo" on sax and Tom on piano. They played at the old Joy Lounge in Gretna, run by Poss Marcello. The band also

played at high school dances in Port Sulphur, Buras and Venice. The band played for 3 years. During his high school

days there was always a conflict with Tom playing music on Saturday nights and playing football on Sundays. During

one game against Port Sulphur, their coach told his coach, Coach Ory, that Tom had played music the night before.

Consequently, Tom had broken his nose during that game. So naturally, coach told him that had he not been out so

late the night before it probably would not have happened. Reluctantly, Tom had to agree with coach.

After high school, Bob joined the Army and Tom joined the

Air Force but continued playing music with different groups.

When Tom returned home, he married the former Irene Daigle and they raised 4 sons, Tommy, Brett, Bart and Beau.

During the next 40 years, Tom played with many different

musicians and groups like: "Square Time", "Mixed Generations" and "Up Slide". He's played with Ricky Hanks,

Carroll Freeman, Buck Baker, Handy Man and Big Mike and many, many others.

His son, Bart, liked to accompany him to different gigs. He enjoyed the music and the atmosphere and enjoyed

watching his father play. It was Easter of 2003, when his son Bart, 35 years old, was hit by a car and killed instantly.

Afterwards, it became too difficult to continue to play music. There was an absence now, something that couldn't he

replaced.

Although he misses those days, Tom has no regrets. The memories are good ones. Thank you for the opportunity to

share my memories with you
