James nailed Tim K.'s most recent claim to fame -- he played rhythm
guitar and wrote a few songs for Robert Cray's _Midnight Stroll_ and
_I Was Warned_ -- don't think he showed up on albums before or after
those two. I also saw his name last week on a CD recorded by either
Junior Wells or James Cotton that had a copyright date sometime in the
1960's, meaning that either he's been around a lot longer than I thought
or I'm getting delirious in my old age =8^).
I believe he was born and raised in Hawaii -- my brother saw him
when he saw Robert Cray, and described him (Tim K., not Robert C.) as
"a big Hawaiian dude." His words, not mine, and a better bio would
be cool if it exists...
