About Me

Check out my first self produced Country Music Video. As everyone knows I like to play all styles of music I think everyone can enjoy this video. I wrote the song with Adam Wayde and my friend Sunny did all the shooting and editing. Thanks to everyone involved in this video I appreciate your time, love, and support. Comments are encouraged. Peace and Love, Tim www.ivorytickler.comDEER
I would like to thank Ray Wylie Hubbard for allowing me cut his song, Snake Farm. It will be ready to download real soon. When you purchase my version of Ray's song you are supporting the both of us. Peace TIM MCDONALD HAS 2 CD'sI am currently off tour and look to actually live in Nashville for a while. Session playing has always been my calling and that is the direction that I am heading.
