    A couple of times a week I pick up the guitar, and "I've Got Nothin But Time" has been on steady rotation for the past year. Thanks, Tom, for the great songs!

    Hey Tom--I've been a fan of yours since about 1964: had your early songbook and learned 'em all by heart. Especially the children's songs. And now I find that you've got some new kids' songs! Where can I access the lyrics and chords too, if at all possible? Thanks so much. email me if possible: rplatta@gmail.com

    Hi Tom,

    The first song I heard by you was Talking Vietnam Potluck Blues.  Heard this in 1971 on late night (Seattle underground) KRAB Radio while living with a family of John Birchers during my senior year of private christian high school. The family didn't know I was listening to subversive stuff on the radio. Its still a funny song!


    Love your Sara Palin song too!  Thanks for all your great work!!!

    Peace On Ya!

    Tom!!!!

    Thanks for still being there and doing and saying and playing and singing!
    Also thanks for being my friend on Myspace. I think you would like my song "We Have Gone Astray" I hope you will give it a listen if you have time, it is a embedded video from a live show at The Cave in Chapel Hill.

    All my best man, you are a real hero to me.
