TWOmas	Apr 17 2009 5:49 AM Hey Guys! Just sittin' here in SC checking Facebook and dropped in to see what was up at Tom's site. Great YouTube clip! What a soul Dundee was and is... If any of you are on Facebook, hit me. Peace, Tom
Mark Elliott	Jan 4 2009 9:46 PM Brother Tom (2:51) Mark Elliott (2007 Mark Elliott Music, BMI) Tom Dundee's damn canoe still sits on the rack here at my house. He wanted to keep it in Tennessee because he kept drifting out into the shipping lanes of Lake Michigan on his moonlight cruises! He always said he would be by to pick up the old Ouachita (wa-shitta as he called it). I never believed him because I knew he loved Nashville and that giant heap of aluminum was just one more reason to make a trip down. Tom was killed on his motorcycle in April 06. I got a message from him on my machine about thirty minutes before his wreck. He said, "Brother Mark (he called everyone brother or sister) if you don't come visit me real soon, we're only gonna' be friends for five hundred more years." Ok - you gave me the title, so this one's for you "Brother Tom!" - "and we're only gonna' be friends I fear, 500 more years" www.cdbaby.com/markelliott5
The River Bent	Nov 12 2008 4:57 PM Watch a killer tribute to Tom Here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9udeSP83V8 R.I.P. Tom myspace.com/theriverbent
David	Nov 12 2008 1:27 PM Thanks for the add. Tom was one of the best in the Chicago music scene. His work is greatly missed.
Jo Mapes	Aug 1 2008 9:24 PM I wasn't a close friend of Toms,My children were his age..but I admired him as a performer and artist man. But there was more: I can only give you my impression of him, as I saw and heard him: that those close to him were lucky to call him friend. I saw a quietness to him,humor,and never a touch of ego on stage, just pure love and respect for his music...happy to be doing it,as were his audiences. I wish that he were still here so we could hear where he was going next, where his music journey would take him. There was a power to him as an artist, not one that hit you with a blast, but stilled you to listen, and brought you into his journey. He was much too young to go..and Having his music with us, is a gift.
The Last American Rebel	Jul 23 2008 4:45 AM .....Tom was a true friend and the best golf partner I ever had. When Tom first came to Nashville he called me up to do his b&w headshot photos,( the photo in the Chicago times is the one) I told him we'd work things out on a payment. So I got back to him with the prints and we talked some more and then he said "I got a set of wilson clubs and 3 Arnold Palmer woods I'll give ya, it's a complete set man" and I was like WOW ,wilsons cool.... so Tom and I had a deal... from then on it was actually one of the best friendships I ever had in my life...(actually by the time the shoot was over we were friends).. Every time we'd play at McCabes I'd always yell out at him across the fairway "Hey man I love these clubs!!" and he would yell back "Hey man I love my photos!!!" with that grin of his . Just one of many stories I have of Tom....I'm going to scan all the photos of him and put them in my myspace blog as a memorial .... I'll post a link soon.... By reading all the newspaper comments all over the web and on here ,Tom truly was a very likable human being. He touched alot of lives....I never saw him get angry....If Tom wasn't your friend 5 minutes after meeting him then that was that persons loss.... I miss you man...
my_gecko	Jun 5 2008 9:52 PM uncle tom's voice was always the one thing that made me fall asleep when I was little, singing to me some of my favorite songs, for example 'back yard' that was mine! The other day my aunt sent me a link to a youtube for Tom and I cried and loved every min. we need to put that link on here, so that not only can we remember the voice of a wonderful man but the personality that we all remember most! I LOVE YOU UNCLE TOM TOM! we miss you.
Suzanne	Apr 18 2008 4:20 AM Two years now since we lost him... I miss Tom!
Geo	Mar 9 2008 9:49 AM Tom: Will NEVER forget you along with James Lee and Pamala Stanley, in you bathrobes, playing live on my show at KLRB-FM in Carmel. Then, by chance, running into you 10 years later, when you "special guested" with Bryan Bowers in the old ladies club building in Fortuna, CA. You were so special--from "This Old Take It Easy Guitar to This Fleeting Moment and Delicate Balance"--you are so deeply missed. Your music, your presence, your life. Please prepare the way for the rest of we "musicians of the soul." And hey, when you visit James Lee Stanley--say Hi for me!
folk music lover	Feb 27 2008 4:20 AM For personal reasons, I've been thinking about "A Delicate Balance." The song's been running through my mind most of the day, so I came here to pay respect to Tom and let him know how much he is missed and how wonderful his songs still are.
Tanya Rose	Dec 6 2007 4:41 AM Humble thanks for accepting my request to be a friend at this special site. Here’s my little story about Tom’s influence on me. I first heard “These Cowboys” from an artist I met online, Stephen Lee Rich. I was totally smitten by the story of this song. Stephen graciously helped me learn it and said that Tom would be thrilled to find out that there are still people around who want to sing his songs. I was so saddened when I heard this gifted soul had passed away but this song has made the rounds of my friends here in San Diego. Several people buttonholed me after hearing me sing it and made it very, very clear that they wanted this song. Stephen wrote me about Tom saying “He always said, "It doesn't do me any good to write them if nobody else sings them." I am proud he’s been introduced by me to people who never had the pleasure of knowing about him. Thank you, Tom, for touching my life and others with the beauty of your spirit.
Amy Dixon-Kolar	Oct 21 2007 10:41 PM Thanks for keeping Tom's music alive and out there. I'm honored to be adding one of his songs to my new CD. Though I didn't know him more than to say hello at a show, his music has been special to me since I was a teenager. Peace - Amy DK
James Lee Stanley	Sep 14 2007 7:26 PM amazing, tom comes to me in my dreams about once a week and we talk and hang. no one else who has ever gone on has come back to me with such regularity and connection. i miss you every day, pal, thanks for the visits...it's the next best thing. james
TWOmas	Jul 12 2007 3:09 AM "For it is in the abyss that we trip, and in tripping, we find the treasure.' -- Joseph Campbell. Life is good, my old friend.
TWOmas	May 27 2007 5:43 AM Hey James Lee... How's it going?
tommybiker	May 19 2007 2:06 AM TOM'S FRIENDS: I JUST GOT THE "FLEETING MOMENT" 2-CD SET IN THE MAIL, AND IF YOU EVER, OR IF YOU NEVER, HEARD TOM PERFORM HIS SONGS, YOU NEED TO GET THIS SET! IT CONTAINS A WHOLE BUNCH OF LIVE RECORDINGS OF OUR OLD FRIEND SINGING YOUR FAVORITES AS YOU WOULD'VE HEARD THEM AT SOMEBODY ELSE'S TROUBLES, THE EARL'S OR ELSEWHERE. IF YOU MISS TOM AND HIS MUSIC, INVEST A FEW BUCKS IN THIS SET. YOU'LL BE SO GLAD YOU DID! PEACE, AND GOD BLESS! tommybiker
TWOmas	Apr 25 2007 1:32 AM It's been a long year. Many thoughts, many old conversations have run through my head, my mindstream. I hope you liked the onion fields, my friend. My guess is that you see them every day now.
Suzanne	Apr 18 2007 5:51 PM Thomas Marie Dundee, I miss you!
JD	Apr 17 2007 3:08 PM I can't believe that a year has gone by already. I sure do miss you, old buddy.
MadDawg Norm	Mar 11 2007 12:15 AM As we approach the first anniversary of Tom's passing, I have to stop and think about all the comments that I contributed to Eric Zorn's blog. I think I have maybe 4 entries, but the one that sticks in my mind is simply "My heart is STILL breaking." Tom was the keeper of Steve Goodman's legacy and now we are the keeper of his. His music will ring loud and clear for as long as we are here to sing and play it. I miss you Tom.
Bill Phillip	Feb 19 2007 4:44 PM Hello all you Tom Dundee fans. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about a release of a CD or DVD from the Old Town School Of Folk Music memorial? Please "E" Mail me if there is any word of a release at BillP157@aol.com. Many thanks, Bill
JL	Feb 19 2007 6:25 AM You still give me chills, Tom. I'm thankful you were here, even but for a little while. JoLynn
jim tullio	Feb 12 2007 2:22 PM tom was truly a great human being and secondly a great songwriter. these songs posted here are as good as it gets and even though tom didn't recieve the recognition in his time, i have no doubt his music will live on and on.....jt
James Lee Stanley	Feb 8 2007 7:02 PM tom was my other wing. i miss him every single day. i'll be glad to see you again, pal. james
Disposed American	Jan 23 2007 4:03 AM I too would like to have an add button on the songs. I hope you sign on soon. I see you have not since before Christmas.
