Subject: RE: Obit: Tom Glazer
Way too many it seems.

I was speaking with someone who had no idea who Tom was, however as soon as I mentioned "On Top of Spaghetti" they broke out with a great big smile and began to sing the song for me.   As Tom Glazer's obit states, the man had a wonderful career around music. He was also part of a "scene" that would grow the seeds of the folk revival. There is something warm and wonderful about knowing this man created such a simple song that continues to be sung by kids today, and probably for many generations to come. I guess that is the folk process.

R.I.P. Tom, and many thanks.
