Well, heroes aren't supposed to get stomach flu, and mope around the house for three days whining and complaining. Played a gig today with my on-again, off -again band and I felt like absolute fucking ratshit. Apparently a lot of people listen to "Vinyl Cafe" 'cause we got several requests for TINY TIM SONGS!!

I love the guy; he died a couple of years ago, (open to correction by those who have and need EXACT info) He was a MONSTER entertainer, and knew a HUGE amount about early recordings. He had a vocal range that Charlotte Church (or Ima Sumack) would envy and he could play his diminisheds and augmenteds on the ukelele!

Stuart Maclean tells me that the ukelele has now become the OFFICIAL instrument of the "Vinyl Cafe"!

Sell those ENRON shares, and start buyin' C.F. Martin!

Cheers

Rick
