PoppaG - did Tim suicide? Unless you mean that his many years of substance misuse were "suicidal" I thought that he died from causes related to a wrecked health (I hesitate to use the expression 'natural causes', if you see what I mean). I thought that he was relatively 'clean' around his last days / months. There is a live recording he did, called "The Homecoming Concert", shortly before he died. He was on great form. I think you can dig out this semi-official album (I don't know its precise status).

There is a TH Yahoogroup that people might be interested in. If you check out TH on wikipedia it gives you the link there. It's run by a big fan from Holland (where TH was, and still is, popular) and gives links to an excellent guitar tab site of many of his songs. Harvey's memories of that concert would be greatly appreciated there. One of the group's regular contributors is his former wife, Susan (she who came from "...Baltimore").

There was a good BBC Radio 2 documentary on TH a couple of years ago. I'd be glad to share once I've worked out a way of transferring it back from my iPod to computer to burn a copy (OK, I know there's probably a "how to" thread somewhere on Mudcat!).
