Franklin Wilkie

Franklin Wilkie was hired to replace Tommy on bass after Tommy's passing in 1980. His association with the members of MTB went back a long way. Prior to joining MTB he had played in the Toy Factory and The Rants, bands that were comprised of various members of the future MTB. He also played in a band called The Puzzle, which Toy would jam with occasionally. Franklin remained with the band until 1984.
