| In the late 1960's I was a struggling
balladier. I was an opener
at many club for known artists like Mose Allison, Ramblin' Jack
Elliott,
and others in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I was asked by a friend from the Lion's Share
Night Club, to sing
with Tim Buckley, as my range which went from lows to the difficult
highs
he hit. I was asked to join him on June 9th and 10th, 1967 on Mt
Tamalpias
just across the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County. Tim Hardin was also
there. Please refer to the link below for more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_Fair_%26_Magic_Mountain_Music_Festival You have done justice to all three of my
all-time favorite icons
of the 60's. Thomas Burford |
| WOW! This is the BEST tab site I've ever had the
pleasure of stealing
someone's hard work from.
THANK YOU for your work in putting this together...Ditto for Fred Neil and Tim Buckley...I'm going there next! What a treat! The layout is great...all on one page,
with chord diagrams,
and the chords the "right way", the way they were played in the show or
on the record. Hi Adrie Only recently learned of Tim Hardin. Knew a
couple of his songs but
didn't make the connection with the writer. Bought a couple of his
albums
and now I'm totally hooked. Hi there, My wifes name is Carolyn van Ravenswaay, mine Bob Donovan. She has family in Holland, in the Hague and elsewhere. Her granddad was a doctor in Holland who ended up in Missouri, USA. He started the chain of 3 generations of doctors in their family. I am a 57 year old who still remembers the 60 folk scene. I was living in san Francisco then. Saw tim hardin in Bath, England in '75 and saw him at the Coffee Gallery, an intimate folk club in North Beach, San Francisco in '78 or '79. His music was haunting and painful, he did misty roses with just his piano, it was awesome.... Your are honouring a very talented artist and I thank you so much Bob Donovan Jackson California where gold was discovered |
| For your enjoyment, here's what Tim wrote to
me back in '72 or '73,
in the front of my songbook: "To you who within an understood pulse--relaxed and strong, breaths [sic]; and will ever pump along to the tune straight off the top of a true hat." Couldn't figure it out then, can't figure it out now. But I treasure it and will always. A couple of years before I met Tim I went to a concert at Fillmore East, a famous concert hall in Greenwich Village, in Manhattan. Must have been after Woodstock. Hardin was the opening act for Blues Image--a one-hit wonder,with Ride Captain Ride, and the Youngbloods. Their big hit was "Get Together," but they had some big albums and Jesse Colin Young had a decent solo career. Not a great night for Tim Hardin. It was a short set, not done well and I can't imagine opening for Blues Image was a feather in Tim's cap. Jesse Colin Young sang Misty Roses, after Tim had sung it, and did a better job that night. When I met Tim later on, I asked him about that night and he acknowledged it was a disaster. His band had just fallen apart and this group had only been formed that afternoon, he told me. But his singing that later night, in Boston, was amazing. Dan T. |
| Adrie Met zeer veel plezier je website bezocht. Tim Hardin is nog steeds een van mijn favoriete artiesten (singer-songwriters) Een aantal songs die op unforgiven staan kon ik nog niet. (nog steeds alleen op Lp geloof ik. Ik heb de meeste uitgeprint nu. Een paar, zoals how can we hang on.. kon ik in een andere zetting voor piano bewerking. Part of the wind, ook een geweldige song, in jouw zetting inderdaad iets makkelijker te spelen, alhoewel ik het een lastige maat vind. (ben ook maar amateurtje) Ben zeer benieuwd welke songs er in december geplaatst gaan worden en kijk er al naar uit. groeten Hans W. |
| Hallo, thank you so much for the tabs! I have bought a songbook from Tim Hardin, but your tabs are so much better! Do you have tabs like this from Sandy Denny, The Strawbs, Fairport Convention or Peter, Paul and Mary? Greeting from Germany, Schwerte near Dortmund! Siegfried F. |
| Hi Adrie, I really appreciate the tabs, I'd been
playing around with
Tribute to Hank Williams in standard tuning dropping the 6th to a low C
and capoed up but it makes more sense in Open D. I've always liked Tim Hardin, I worked out an instrumental picking version of Reason to Believe in G with a dropped D that I'm quite pleased with. It was Blues on the Ceiling on that early record that led me to discover Fred Neil - along with the version of Dolphins by Tim Buckley of course. One of our customers was Tim Rose who unfortunately died
last year -
he often told us of the times that Tim Hardin and he played together,
not
a particular productive period for either of them
unfortunately. Thanks again for all the tab. |
| What an absolutely stunning website. Really
first rate - and I can't
believe that there is someone so talented who has put up tabs for Tim
Buckley
and Tim Hardin (and FredN!). Can I recommend you go for the next of the
Tims - Tim Rose! (well, the first album's worth at least!) all the
best,
Jon |
| I had the good fortune of opening for Tim during his
weeklong engagement
in '68 at a small club in Boston. (Unfortunately, I didn't get into filming folk shows until many years later.) It was a unreal watching Tim 'get ready for a show'. I had never seen anything like it then or since. Tim consumed a 5th of Scotch and then someone arrived with a shopping bag filled with white powder. But Tim was a total gentleman to us then-18 year olds and invited us to join his entourage for dinner every night. I'll never forget how in '73 in Woodstock, New York , I
was waiting
in Around '77, I ventured to NYC to a Tim Hardin concert at
a club in Greenwich
Village. After the show I went downstairs to personally give Tim a
sealed
LP of my band APPALOOSA's debut Columbia release that mentions Tim on
the
liner notes that were written by our producer Al Kooper. I walked up
Tim's
dressing room door thinking that there must be lots of people inside
congratulating
Tim on his great performance. Inspired by Tim Hardin's incredible piano playing, I
recently stopped
writing and performing on guitar and began studying piano. |
I
believe it was at the Long Shoremans Hall in San Francisco in 1968. I
had
the great pleasure of meeting and seeing Tim Buckley for the second
time
and join him for one song on stage.
