TINY TIM
with
CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN

October 26, 1986
Stache's (or was it Bogart's?)
Columbus, OH, USA

----------------------------------------------------

Tiny Tim - what can you say about him except that he was unique.
With zero rehearsal Camper Van Beethoven joins in Tiny's tribute to songs of long ago, and a few more recent ones.
You gotta love a ukulele.

I would have given my left (fill in the blank) to have been at this show.
It really captures the joyous spirit that inhabits a great performance of great music. Say what you will about these ancient ditties - they are all wonderfully singable. If you don't think this would have been a night of fun you'd always remember, well, you don't know what fun is.

Not horrible
I have read reference to an SB of this but this is definitely audience sourced.

HEY GANG:
