I love Tiny Tim, and don't really want to dis him, John--but read what JWB said--his talent was not honed with a lot of musical training--listen to his "Brave Combo" album and you can hear a lot rawness and uneveness, and a lot of stuff that trained singers just don't do--the energy is great, though, and it is great fun, and his presence was unforgettable--his was a talent that was greater than the sum of its parts--
