Talk:Tom Glazer

Untitled
I added some of his musical accomplishments beyond "On Top Of Spaghetti" but didn't have more details on his life and work. This was my first attempt at editing a Wikipedia page.

Ex-wife of Tom Glazer has died
Should this be added to the page? She died on August 20, 2012.

Section heading "Material loss"
>> "Destroyed tapes and other archival materials" ==

The heading "Material loss", while clearly justifiable as derived from fully adequate reproductions of the NYTimes article, is way inadequate. I have repl'd, deserves something much closer in content to my pref, "Destroyed tapes and other archival materials". Yes, the old hdg is accurate, but the loss of the other presumably equally irreplaceable contemporaneous -- "manu"scripts, photos, perhaps even footage, misses the point: the master tapes (even if copies exist, made from them before or after the presumably also lost vinyl  and/or (maybe even high-grade) second-generation magnetic-tape copies that must fall at least, but still slightly but irremediably short of the most accurately authentic, and most significally direct aspect of what musicians prize most and collectors most pay for: the closest possible approximation to the live sound, that existed only at one instant. --JerzyA (talk) 06:29, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
