I play music for a living and I live to play music

About Me

I fell in love with music at an early age. My dad would play blues records and classic rock non stop around the house and in the car. I decided one day, when he and I were driving, that I would be a good guitar player. He laughed, but informed me that my cousin had an old guitar that was once his...and that was all I needed.I started playing in September 2001, and shortly after, I started writing music. I knew some members of Spanky Nyne, who were broken up at the time, through my cousin, Chris Lickteig. Jeremy Sharfe, lead singer of Spanky Nyne, and I started to do a little jammin together when I would get off school. We noticed the chemistry, and talk of getting Spanky Nyne back together began. Steve Berry (drums) and Kevin Berry (bass) were all for the idea and I became the new lead guitar player for the reformed Spanky Nyne.Sharfe, as he likes to be called, and I have been playing acoustic shows together at Wick's Pizza on Dixie since November 2006. We go by the very clever name of "Timmy and Sharfe." We also play acoustic shows all around town...The Pub at Fourth Street, Main Street Lounge, Dublin's Cellar, pretty much anywhere.Keep an eye out for the Timmy and Sharfe acoustic album...coming soon!!

Left side walkers

Here's the thing...you walk on a sidewalk the same way you drive a car.  You are entitled to the right side of the walk.  Why do I feel sometimes that I am the only one who knows this? ...
