Remembering Tiny Tim
You know, we've got some folks in Those Darn Accordions that have worked with some BIG names in showbiz. I'm not kidding. Mick Jagger, Pat Benatar, Melissa Etheridge, Billy Idol, etc, but no one tops my street cred. Here's the proof. What a magical night that was backing up Tiny Tim. If I hadn't happened to find this photo while cleaning up my studio, the moment would have been lost forever. I know to some of you this will explain a lot, and upon reflection, I suppose it does.

Wow! That does explain a lot...
But - when and where was the photo taken? From the rustic looks of the wall of the club, I'm guessing somewhere in Wisconsin or Michigan.
I'm guessing Sweetwater, the beloved (and now shuttered) club in Mill Valley, Calif.
Or else Mars.
Yup, the dear old Sweetwater. Had some great times there.
More disturbing than the whole Tiny Tim concept is to bear witness to a fresh-faced, callow, skinny Paul. Sort of like the Sunbeam Bread girl with the soul of Charles Manson. Speaking allegorically.
Sunbeam Girl!? On the package of bread? The last time I saw her was in 1960 in upstate Michigan when my Grandma made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Oh, to be a boy again
in Cheboygan
Walk along the beach and be a boy again..........
