Thread Name: Tiny Tim (1932-1996) opinions on his music?
Subject: RE: Tiny Tim - opinions on his music?
NPR's Fresh Air played an interview from the archives this evening, with Tiny Tim. I was in the truck and missed some chunks coming into the house and such, so I'll listen to it again. Very interesting, and a very knowledgeable man, as this thread confirmed already.
Fresh Air archive from June 16, 1996.
We listen back to an interview with the eccentric singer and performer Tiny Tim. Born Herbert B. Khaury, he began performing in the 1950s. He is best known for his performances on Laugh-In, especially his croonings of "Tip Toe Through the Tulips." Tiny Tim died in 1996. There's a new box set of his recordings God Bless Tiny Tim. This interview originally aired on June 16, 1996.
