It was interesting how Tim started playing guitar. Growing up in South Oak Cliff to German Immigrates, He starting playing classical violin, but, since Tim grew up only a few blocks from Stevie Ray and Jimmy Vaughn, and the fact that the original Deep Ellum was a hot bed for blues, the blues where the main music a budding guitarist would hear. So Tim's next door neighbors Grandfather (an old bluesman that went by the name of "Curly Barefoot Miller") would sit out on the porch every night after dinner, and play and sing the blues to the kids in the neighborhood. Great tunes from Freddy King, Muddy, Jimmy Reed; the list was endless. As Tim Put it "It was a great way to grow up." Tim begged his dad for a guitar. Soon after his dad brought home a 67 Fender Telecaster Thinline he had gotten at a pawn shop (which Tim still has today). So Curly sat on the back porch taught Tim to play the blues. Tim loves the blues to this day. "It's a style of music that you can sit down with a guitar, your dog, and a beer and just get lost for a while" says Tim.
Tim say's "I really like this group of guys, we are all diverse with our influences, but have the same goal, to get you off your butt! Thom and I have known each other for almost 15 years now, I can’t think of any one I trust more! And Phil came in and with the same ideas and goals. We are guys who play the music for the passion of playing. Our original songs show our influences. One thing when you come to a show you WILL have fun!"
