Y2K saw Tim in both Florida and California (with sometimes blonde, sometimes black, sometimes midnite blue or combos of both - hair!).  He officially relocated to LA to assist Michael with The Coconut Club Orchestra. In his spare time Tim is working on recording and producing his own songs in his recording studio..

For a few cool side projects, he's been working around the LA club scene with mood-rocker, singer/guitarist, Andrew Sherman and The Andrew Sherman Vehicle as a performer and producer.


Tim has also been playing trombone, percussion and giving some more backup vocals in thee coolest LA clubs with the actor/comedian, Andy Dick. Andy has a band called, Andy Dick and The Bitches of the Century. Have you seen the whacky comedy show on MTV called "The Andy Dick Show' yet? Hold on to your pigeons when you see them in the demented Marilyn Manson meets Marry Poppins band video segment - whoa. The B*tches are working up a national tour with full television support as well as CD Release partys ... as they get ready to tour the new album - complete with cover art of Andy painted by Manson.


And for the rock and roll edge, even Slash (yes, from the Guns 'n' Roses) asked asked Tim to be a part of Slash's Snakepit...on a bunch of dates. 'ain't life grand' (that's the name of the album). He's also arranging horns for some classic Guns n Roses tunes. Here's an action shot with (L to R) Slash, Jimmy Z, Lee Thornburg and Tim at The Whiskey A Go Go on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. (These photos were taken by Tim's childhood chum-gone-bigtime, Karl Larsen. Karl's photos can been seen monthly in Rolling Stone) Slash is still the icon in his playing and in his look.







During a night out at The Magic Castle, Slash and his wife, Perla told us they are expecting a baby boy - London - born Fall 2002. Tis true it was conceived at Ron Wood's home in London. (L to R: Karl Larsen, Slash, Perla (Mrs. Slash), Stace Bass and Tim). You can click on the photo for larger image of, yes, Slash wearing a tie Tim lent to him. Check out Slash's new personal website, complete with Karl's photos; www.Slashonline.com Be sure to go to the 'extras section' and play the 'Slash' game - guitar players will love it!


Tim toured with Mike on the national Community Concert tour 2002 with his Florida Swingerheads.






Classic Swingerhead moments: On tour at Big Bear I had to solder my trombone back together with a blowtorch (just like Dad taught me). And then there was the time my slide flew out into the audience of 5,000 fans at Summerfest


Tim has been working with Michael Andrew since May 28, 1998
(they met on a ship in Hawai'i)
