    You should learn more about Tim. I've been friends with him since the 90s and I can honestly say he's the genuine article. He's written great songs, he's traveled as many miles as anyone I've known and most of those were uncomfortable miles. You should take a deep dive on Tim's music, you won't be disappointed.

    I will add one more thing. This is not exactly like Donovan teaching The Beatles how to Travis Pick while in Rishikesh but I did in fact show Beck how to Travis Pick when we were in Paris. I teach it the same way today. CZcams is of course the greatest guitar teacher out there, but what you do is just get your thumb mindlessly bouncing back and forth on the bass strings, and maybe just do that for a few months or years, while you're watching TV or just sitting on the couch. Maybe use an electric guitar unplugged so you don't bother others in the room, and just keep bouncing that thumb back and forth rhythmically on the bass strings until you can do it like a machine without thinking about it. Then you might be ready to start adding in some melody notes, but it all works best when the thumb is a repetitious machine holding down the rhythm. It takes time, but after a while it will become like a steady heartbeat that is undeniable. Listen to Mississippi John Hurt like Beck did. Mance Lipscomb too. I'm going to visit Mance's grave in Navasota, Texas this June after I play Kerville Folk Fest (my debut!) so stay tuned for that action. Folk on friends.

    30 years ago I heard Beck’s Odelay album for the first time. I remember thinking it was the most creative, original blend of musical styles that I had ever heard. Hearing this story of connection between Beck and Tim Easton today has just made my musical universe smaller; loved hearing this interview

    There was a time that, no matter who I went to see, Tim would be playing. It's to the point that I can't even recall who all I was seeing or where, but I recall Tim always being there in some iteration. I saw him at Sundown in the City in Knoxville, opening (maybe) for the old 97s or maybe it was Shooter, who remembers, but this particular time it was just Tim and a guy playing Doghouse who would NOT pay attention to Tim's ques. Tim would turn to the guy, who was in a world of his own, and physically wave at the guy.... still Nothing. He kept slapping away... That guy was playing some other show in his head. Lol. Great show nonetheless. I still play "Don't Walk Alone" everywhere I go and ppl still ask "Is that one of yours? " which always leads to me telling them the first part of this comment👆and ending with me saying that I learned the song without even owning a copy because I saw Tim play it that often. Maybe It really is just circles all the way down. I'd still rather listen to Tim over Beck but maybe that's just me. Thanks for all the great shows, Tim and thanks, Otis for the vid. Crushing it as always.

    Thanks gentlemen great stuff. I saw Beck in Denver 30+/- years ago @ a show with about 300 people. I remember Beck came out in a '70s leisure suit and did the jerk around the stage for a few minutes. He also later on performed a solo acoustic set....great one of a kind show. Thanks brothers, you're appreciated.

    Love hearing the stories about Beck. I've seen him about 8x over the years and he always puts on an amazing concert. I just saw him again about 6 months ago at MSG and he had the whole garden dancing their butts off including me. I also saw him years ago at Jones beach on Long Island on a bill with Neil Young and a couple other bands I'm forgetting at the moment. I can honestly say Beck pretty much blew Neil Young off the stage that night. I love Neil Young but he was in a bad mood.. Probably cause the crowd is pretty lame out there. Almost his whole set was just noise. While Beck was Funky AF! Thankfully I've seen Neil a couple other times and those were incredible shows.

    Saw Beck in 96 I believe - and I think it was at the Kent State gymnasium. It was the Odelay tour. The Roots opened for him - way before I knew who The Roots were. That show is foggy for me, and I don't know why. Becks make some great records though. Mutations is a classic late night/early morning record. That one was always a go-to. It's a dark record that makes people happy - or maybe comfortable. Sea Change is borderline timeless. His early records were great to listen to while washing dishes in restaurants. When I hear Mellow Gold, I see myself smoking a Camel Light and taking trash out back doors.
