You probably know I grew up back in the dark ages...my family didn't own and if they had, wouldn't watch television...my adopted mother's idea of "tv" was to bring us all down to my Auntie Una's house to watch when the astronauts landed on the moon...also from time to time I would sneak a glimpse whilst at either my Auntie Una or Aunt Susie's house...
One such time, I was at Aunt Susie's for my voice lessons (the coincidence is quite amusing if you will) when one of those variety shows came on (about 1968) and this is the first time I heard the dulcet tones of Tiny Tim...I was fascinated. Kind of a horrified fascination perhaps...
At any rate, I followed anything I heard about Tiny Tim from then on...for instance how many of you know that when he married his bride Victoria (a model of course), he wept ONE TEAR into an envelope...do I know why??? no, the mere fact of knowing made me happy...
So this is just one of those "hey guys I'm from the Plastoceian Era..." blogs.
AND I STILL LOVE THE SONG TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS
