Tiny Tim definitely had some unordinary movements during his performances. But good Lord, could he sing! He was just so genuinely himself and people laughed at him for it, but he couldn't have been less bothered by it. It was like he didn't even hear it!
The man spoke boldly,nonchalantly mentioned the name of Jesus the “Christ” and the Holy Spirit publicly,not afraid,or ashamed,a huge plus in my book,for this you can know he’s truly “resting in peace”.
Te enganchas con sus primeras actuaciones..esas dis canciones,que él versionó,no las puedes olvidar,una vez oídas.Fuel a su personalidad..auténtico y diferente...es genial.
I know! They were excerpted in a Tiny Tim doc done in the mid-2000s, called "Tiny Tim: The Last Hurrah" (naturally there was no info as to the source of these). I tried reaching out to both the project directors, but it turned out one of them died in the past couple years and the other no longer lives at the address given in the white pages... so I'm left stumped and frustrated that I didn't retain the now-decade long memory of the director commenting on the original post... so. damn. frustrating.
All I’ve managed to surmise from these clips is that the setting/production of the film was Pennsylvania or Maryland, as Tiny refers in his abduction-esque story to Route 111…
Do you recall coming across a Tiny Tim 'official fan page' website (or something to that effect)? It looks to be deleted, and I can't remember the URL so as to search for it on the Wayback machine. But I recall it having a lot of really detailed information about Tiny Tim. I may be conflating it with the director comment you mentioned, but I'm sure I remember reading about how many takes this scene took, because Tiny kept flubbing the line. I wonder if finding that old website would have more information about the movie.
You mean Tinytim.org! Ernie Clark used to run that, and I think before it was Sue Gardner - wayback’s got TONS of pages from the site up there - I think you may be on to something with that remembrance… I think there was also something about Blood Harvest that was similar, but I’m gonna try digging into those urls!
He was not ashamed of naming the name of Jesus the “Christ”,and now he’s home with the lord. Looking forward to meeting him in the future , “In my fathers house are many mansions and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am you may be also”~ Jesus
That is an excellent question... it was from the labeling of a bootleg I received, and which I took for granted was definitely the name of the producer of the show. Thank you for clarifying this, I'll be sure to adjust the titles!
Met him in the late 70s in a Long Island club, The White House. We were the only ones who showed up the first night. He apologized to us but he wasn't going to play. I shook his hand and he thanked us for coming. We got in the next night without paying and he was amazing.
Yeah! Big blow hard. Felt really weird/disgusted when he ended here in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Then Lakewood Cemetery where my relatives rest. Please too much. Do your weird act and quit rambling on. Can't imagine how his wives put up with him.
the surreal craziness of TT is really gone when he is older. Voice singing is two thumbs down. I know all the oldie but goodie songs he is singing. He tone is monotone . Phew!!
El musico o uno de los mas infravalorados en el mundo siendo que fue todo lo que esta bien para el mundo de la musica,no triunfó en vida pero si lo ha hecho al fin y al cabo despues de su muerte en 1996..descansa en paz Tiny Tim..nos has dejado un gran legado en la musica.
Personalmente este cantante, nadie duda de su originalidad y su buena voz. Pero tocar un instrumento como el Ukelele, en los años 90, habiendo un estruendo de bandas de rock potentísmas. ¿Quién lo iba a recordar teniendo un repertorio basado en los años 30? Yo es la primera vez que lo oigo, por lo tanto nunca lo he conocido, y por supuesto no tengo ningún disco de él. Se quedó ancaldo al pasado.
In my opinion, the name Tiny Tim (meaning Herbert Khaury) is synonymous with the word icon. When he started singing,, "Tiptoe," the audience popped. It was obvious that Tiny loved performing and he was incredibly talented. My cockatiel Chipper starts whistling and talking when he hears his music. Tiny Tim is sadly missed, yet fondly remembered. Thanks for posting this!
