​. Tim's probably best known as a ballad singer and ​
​also a punk rocker. He ran a group for a while called Cordelia's Dad and
now has the Trio de Pumpkintown. Tim was in town as part of a cultural
festival, he sang last night with a man from Cuba.

tonight's crowd was over 100, with about 25 of their regular singers and a
few from away like me. Within an hour and 1/2, ​
​the crowd was catching on in a real way. They will probably get some more
singers from it.​
