Tony "Little Sun" Glover (October 7 1939 as Dave Glover in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a US-American harmonica player and singer, who was most notably associated with "Spider" John Koerner and Dave "Snaker" Ray in the early Sixties Folk Revival. Together, the three released albums under the name "Koerner, Ray & Glover".
