How "Glory to the Lamb" found its way into the folk repertoire as "Throw a Nickel on the Drum" is a twisted trail. Consider this reminiscence from some Ann Arbor, Michigan residents about Salvation Army bands, including Mary Culver, who was hearing Salvation Army bands apparently in the 1950s and remembers students apparently mocking the band with "Throw a Nickel on the Drum" while the Army made its collections. This is the only example I've found of the two together: the song, and the people it mocked.

When the Salvation Army Marched Downtown

Its headquarters on Fifth Ave. attracted hoboes and passersby alike.
        Saturday night was once the busiest time of the week for Ann Arbor merchants, because that was when farmers would drive to town to do their weekly errands. As families milled about, shopping and catching up with the news, the Salvation Army brass band would march from the army's headquarters at Fifth and Washington up to Main Street, playing hymns and summoning the crowds to open-air services.
        "It was part of Saturday in Ann Arbor," says John Hathaway, who grew up here in the 1930's. He remembers that when he attended Perry Elementary School as a child, Salvation Army kids were always eager to enroll in the music program so they could prepare for playing in the band.
        Mary Culver recalls that when she was in college, the band would stop outside bars frequented by students. After a few hymns, a band member would come through the bar with an upside-down tambourine, collecting money as the students sang, "Put a nickel in the drum, save another drunken bum." Culver remembers it as a good-natured scene, but doubts that the Salvation Army got much money, since the students of that era had little to spare.
        Virginia Trevithick, a retired Salvation Army employee and a former band member, recalls, "It was a nice little band, about fifteen members, all good musicians. On Saturday when the stores stayed open late we held street meetings in front of Kresge's at Main and Washington [now Mongolian Barbeque]. There would be a big crowd." ….
