Tiny Tim?

Call me crazy but was he ahead of his time? Pull out the old vinyl--God Bless Tiny Tim--the one with the big nose on the back cover-and give a listen to "The Other Side" and "The Coming Home Party". Could be 80's tunes in my mind.

Slightly off topic, but Tiny's version of "Stairway to Heaven" with Brave Combo is classic. Kind of like Mr Ed covers Zep, tango-style.

Hence I met him at Spookyworld. [:D]
But as I can remember he was kind, gentle and seemed a bit timid.

I think his creepiness was part of his charm. I enjoyed him as much on Laugh-In as I did when he would appear on the Howard Stern show. And seeing that one of his songs was used in a "Spongebob Squarepants" short seems to ensure his endurability. [:)]

Evidently he was a walking encyclopedia of forgotten American musics from about 1900 on. He spent his last year here in Mpls, but unfortunately I never ran in to him. I remember seeing his name listed as playing a local dive bar but I thought it had to
