Title: RIP Tom Borton
Post by: lfmusiclover on September 15, 2013, 11:01:08 PM

Just thought I'd share this for those who'd like to know, apparently Tom Borton is dead. I happened to stumble on this info while trying to find his two TWC songs (which happen to be two of my favorite TWC songs) Wherever You Are and Looking for a Way. He seems to have died rather recently, less than 2 years ago.  :o

IF memory serves me right, we're starting to have a little list of TWC musicians who have died, aren't we? I seem to remember several threads like these in the past.  :thinking:

Wow, that's sucks. "Looking For A Way" is one of my favorite TWC songs. I wonder what happened? I found a Twitter account for him (https://twitter.com/tom_borton). His last tweet was 10 days before his death.

Aw, man!  He was a Hoosier, too....and an IU grad.  55 is way too young.
I bought his CD three times (I used them so much!  I would have to replace one that broke).
I still use his music on my emulator!  :cry3:

R.I.P. Tom Borton - his two songs from Dancing with Tigers are among my all time faves
