Tiny Tim - Whistling in the Dark

[@francescaashby1531]

I discovered Tiny Tim after watching Insidious. Some people thought it was creepy but I loved it. My absolute favorites are The Coming Home Party and I’m a Lonesome Little Raindrop 😊

The wonderful man, the endless legend... Mr. Tiny Tim.

Endless legend? You have got to be kidding!

@@alexvaliansky7707 Well, why are you even watching this video? I'm sure you'll find something you like somewhere, instead of trolling people on stuff you don't like.

[@alexvaliansky7707]

I just wanted to see if Tiny Tim was really as absurd as I remember him. Yep.

[@outofthecoldintothefire9082]

@@alexvaliansky7707 I see. And you singled ME out to troll on. Yep!

@@alexvaliansky7707 It's neat that you entertained yourself like that. Nothing much else to do, I suppose.

Omg this is wonderful, I had tried searching for this everywhere, went through the whole episode's that I could find but to no avail. I'm so overjoyed to see it, thankyou so much x

[@tinytimfanclubyt]

I’m so glad you enjoy it! If there’s anything else you’ve been looking for, just tell me and I’ll try to find it.

[@unitedwestanddividedwefall4029]

I remember that Tiny was in several skits on Laugh-In but the only one that i can find on the internet is the one with Arte Johnson as the nazi. Why can't i see the others?

[@mandychaplin]

@@unitedwestanddividedwefall4029 I found quite a lot on Amazon prime, but it was £1.89 an episode, I googled which ones he was in and thought I would treat myself to two a month

He’s a cutie

[@subg8858]

He’s playing right handed here unlike his other performances

[@brandontuttle5571]

In the book "Eternal Troubadour the Improbable Life of Tiny Tim" it says: "Herbert had played guitar and ukulele right-handed, but he had begun to experience severe headaches on the right side of his head, and came to the conclusion that the headaches were caused by straining the right side of his brain. Just as he had taught himself to bat with his left hand for curb ball as a kid, he taught himself to write and play instruments with his left hand. Shortly thereafter, his headaches subsided, which convinced him that this theory was correct."

[@annafloyd6382]

I've never seen him so thin with such short hair??

[@tinytimfanclubyt]

Before his career decline, and actually before his career really started, Tiny was careful with his diet and was pretty thin until the late 1970’s and onward. He also had shorter hair before his mainstream success, though there are pictures from his young adult years where he has very short hair!

[@ovicephalus5938]

Thanks never seen this before! Do you have access to his appearance in the Yellow Sequence from Normal Love?

[@tinytimfanclubyt]

I’ve seen the appearance before. I’ll try to find it. Would you like me to post it if i do?

@@tinytimfanclubyt yea I'm pretty sure it is, or at least part of it. It is unofrtunate we don't really have many performances from this era.

[@delbhoye]

Tiny is playing his uke right-handed here. I wonder why?

[@tinytimfanclubyt]

Tiny was right handed but started using left hand for everything sometime after this. He said using his left hand eliminated his headaches.

Where did you find this?

[@tinytimfanclubyt]

I found it on a strange streaming service in the pilot episode of Ironside.

Olivier.

[@sketchesforyou8020]

I thought he was a lefty...

[@tinytimfanclubyt]

He was, but I don’t know why he isn’t playing lefty here. Might be the time period, but I’m not sure.

[@indisugartaufik]

I think he can play both ways. Because I saw him playing guitar right handed way :)

[@tinytimfanclubyt]

@@indisugartaufik Yes, he usually plays ukulele left handed and guitar right handed.

[@patriciahufft3103]

Tiny was right handed but started using left hand for everything. I guess sometime after this. He claims using left hand eliminated his headaches.
