Naugatiki - ( Great username! - although it conjures up somewhat unsettling Bea Arthur imagery ) I had an interesting recording session with Bill Kelly of the Buoys back in May - on of all things - a REMAKE! of " Timothy".
The creepiest part of all was that his voice sounded EXACTLY like it did back in 1970. Funny, I was telling him that I thought DOA took the creepiest cake - I see it made the list here as well. Bill lives in Nashville, Tn. A local music producer who had as a musical pet peeve a long-standing desire to re-record that song contacted him and asked him if he would do it. He graciously consented - and proceed to come in and nail it in one take. A very nice man as well who laughs loudest and best at the wackiness of the notorious tune. Just had to pass this funny tidbit along.It's one of the perks of my trade.

Best,
