He had an album of folk and nursery rhymes out in the early fifties. I remember Big Rock Candy Mountain among others. Except for Italian Opera and French folk songs, he was the first experience I had with music on records. Just tripping down memory lane and curious. |

24 Feb 01 - 01:20 AM (#405146) Subject: RE: Remember Paul Glazer? From: Jimmy C Tom Glazer not only recorded some songs but he also published at least one book on folk songs. Published by CORGI it is called ' A New Treasury Of Folk Songs", It contains Cowboy Songs, Ballads, Spirituals and Shanties.It has the music, chords and lyrics to about 80 songs and also has a section for anyone beginning the "Folk Guitar".
At the beginning of the book it states that the book is " For parties, gatherings of two or three friends, your own personal pleasure", it adds that "there is no other folk song book like this one. It is a strong, balanced and vital cross=section of the best in folk music, from all times an dplaces. No one who loves fok songs shopuld be without it.
It is dedicated to the great songs and the great singers of America
The front cover photograph is by kind permission of " The Anglers" Folk Club, Teddington. Cost in the UK was 30 pence. I picked it up at a second hand book store years ago and was surprised to find the bookmark inside one of the pages was a cutting of a newspaper report of a house concert that took place in Co. Tyrone in 1907. It is a bit long but makes delightful reading
A 1907 Country Concert in Tyrone
A few evenings ago a very enjoyable and entertaining function was held in the premises of Mr. John Carton, Loughhash.
The Affair was under the auspices of the committee of St. bernard's Flute Band, Moneygran.
On the call of Mr.Andrew Gormley, seconded by Mr.James Doherty, Mr William McGaughey was asked to preside.
The programme was then gone through, Mr.F.J. Quinn sang " Paddys Evermore" and to an encore gave " The Three Little Drummers"
Miss J. Doherty sang " The Shamrock is the fairest flower" and to an encore sang " When The Roses Come Again"
Master J. Carton gave " Shamrock" and " Home Boys Home" which literally brought down the house
Miss Anne Dougan's rendering of " Mary of the Curling Hair" in her sweet musical voice was very acceptable indeed and in response to an encore she gave " Savourneen Dheelish" with great feeling
The Misses Bradley were happy in their interpretation of " Bonny Mary Of Argyle" and also sang " Bonny Charlie"
Mr B. Kerlin (of Lisbunny) sang " Pat Highland" and " They Wouldn't do It Now" which was received with roars of laughter.
Judging from the Irish Step Dancing of Messrs. McCormick, Conway and Quinn, Irish dancing will not die out, These three young men can " fairly toe it"
John Kerlin (Lisbunny) sang " I long to be single again" and Half-Past Ten"
Wm. McCullough rendered " The Yellow Rose of Texas" with an encore of " Who fears To Speak of '98" which was received with cheers again and again renewed.
Tea followed and dancing begun (the Irish forms of dancing were principally patronised) and the programme carried through by John Devine, J. Gormley and Jas Doherty. Music was supplied by Messrs. Quinn, McCluskey and McGaughey.
Sure sounds like they had a whale of a time - on tea yet ?. You find some treasures between the pages of old books .
Hope you enjoyed this article.

Did a wonderful job of presenting the songs and 'meaning' of the movement...we are lucky to have had him around |

31 Jan 02 - 12:45 PM (#639437) Subject: RE: Remember Paul Glazer? From: GUEST,MCP SINSULL - If I've got this correct, the thread asked for Paul Glazer (z), who really turned out to be the Tom Glazer (z) linked to above (and was awarded for his work on children's songs). Tompall Glaser (s) (born Thomas Paul) was (with Chuck - born Charles Vernon, and Jim - born James William) one of the Glaser Brothers (who worked in the country/pop area of music - working with and writing for Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings among others, although as pointed out above Tompall did record the songs of Shel Silverstein in 1974). Joe Glazer (z) did the labor songs. And The Glazier - he called on a Thursday morning, but that's a different thread entirely. Mick |

14 Sep 08 - 12:24 PM (#2440033) Subject: RE: Remember Paul Glazer? From: GUEST,jimdawg5 Tompall Glazer and his brothers were country singers for 30 years and would have been "outlaws" like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristoferson. I saw then in concert several times and they always put on a great show. Tompall was the oldest of 3 brothers and the most successful, but they were all talented. If you can find their music then buy it. |
