About Me

MySpace Music Layouts by Iron Spider
Tim is a real, authenticated Texas singer-songwriter, although he's spent a good deal of time in New Orleans, playing with Dave Sharp & The Hard Travelers and as a solo artist. He didn't leave his heart there. He actually FOUND it there, pulsing with the beat of Satchmo and Jellyroll, Dixieland and Zydeco, The Meters and that old Gris-Gris, and buzzing like a hundred neon signs or, if you prefer, a hundred drunks stumbling down Bourbon Street. The Great Adventure of Etc. Etc...took our boy from the 504 (as the homeboys call it) on a MUSICAL trip to Sligo, Ireland and back into his beloved Lone Star State. Nacogdoches, Texas is where he once- not too long ago- owned and managed a Music Hall called the Out Of The Way Cafe. He also started his first band, Rise & Run, there. He reckons that on most days, he'd rather be in Austin. Tim is of the opinion that the music should do the talking, but here are a few more facts that the music may or may not divulge: He was born 13 days before the JFK assassination, which makes him a Scorpio. He and his wife LEELA are the proud parents of MOLLY GRACE, who was born on the First Day of Spring, 2001, and JACKSON DYLAN, who was born on July 7, 2006. He loves Sushi and a pint of Guinness. Bodington's if that's not available. Current favorite CDs: Ian Hunter's "Shrunken Heads" and Mike Farris' "Salvation In Lights." Favorite movies: Two Lane Blacktop, The Missouri Breaks, Lost In Translation.

"One bottle of vodka and two cigar-eetes" music

There's a picture of me, somewhere out there, that was taken about ten years ago. I have a beer in one hand-- or maybe it's a bottle of vodka-- my eyes are glassy and bloodshot, and I have not one but...
