If I owned the Tiny Tim album I'd claim it was for it's historical interest as a re-hit of Nick Lucas's earlier Tiptoe hit. I'd try to find the Lucas album, to cover myself. Nick popularised the use of flatpicks on guitars. I never voted republican but came close to voting for Dole--I felt his pain, and I was pissed at how Clinton threw very good cabinet people overboard at the slightest media fuss. Still think it was spineless. I own 3 ukuleles. I once coaxed someone to tell an embarrassing story by saying I'd top it, then I backed out. I had a much more embarrassing story, but a crowd had gathered, and I still can't do it. MY WIFE'S FAVORITE STORY: When I was fifteen and had a job, I bought myself a pair of shoes. Thicksoled sandals. Later the day I bought them I met an attractive girl, considerably older, and wound up at her apartment. As the day wore on, her friends stopped in, and I found myself sitting on a couch, looking at my feet, stonedly wondering What was I thinking? I discreetly slipped them off and tucked them under the couch. I forgot them and went home barefoot, never to return.
