Dr. Thomas P. Foley, known to his friends as Tom, has died following a battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. He was 83 years of age.
A Virginia native, Tom made his career in medicine in Pennsylvania, where he had most recently served as Professor Emeritus of Pediatric Endocrinology at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. He had been named several times as among The Best Doctors in America, along with numerous awards for his clinical research.
But Tom was also an avid bluegrass musician, a guitarist, who led The Allegheny River Boys in Pittsburgh for many years. He was also deeply involved with The Pittsburgh Press in organizing the Annual Press Old Newsboys Benefit Bluegrass Concerts, which raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Children’s Hospital.
The Allegheny River Boys started performing in the 1970s, and continued to be active until the past few years when Tom was unable to play. They are remembered throughout the region for their many appearances at festivals and shows. Tom also hosted house concerts at his home with top bluegrass touring acts, some of whom became his friends. His pickin’ parties are likewise viewed as legendary by the local grassers.
Tom will be fondly recalled by many in the fields of medicine and music, and for his many philanthropic and humanitarian efforts. John Starling of Seldom Scene fame was a friend in medical school, which they remained until John’s passing.
Friends say that he never lost his southern charm, even after moving north. He was a special fan of the Stanley Brothers, and a great admirer of Carter Stanley’s singing. Tom was also deeply proud to own a 1943 Martin D-28, which he always played on stage.
Gene Elders has played fiddle and mandolin in George Strait’s Ace In The Hole Band since 1984, while also playing fiddle in Lyle Lovett’s Large Band for 11 years. Joan Baez recorded songs of Gene’s wife, Betty, after which they both joined the Baez band on tour in Europe and the US.
Gene has also played on recordings by George Strait, Lyle Lovett, Joan Baez, Lucinda Williams and Dan Fogelberg, to name but a few. When he’s not on the road with the Ace In The Hole Band, Gene is working in his studio, composing for film and recording violin, mandolin, concertina, octave viola, octave mandolin, and full string sections for artists across the country and across the oceans.
