This track makes me think that Wayne was listening to the Cocker/Russell collabs
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:18pm

Hard to see Wayne as a carpenter. You could keep a lot of pencils up there tho.

Good afternoon from Wisconsin. Arriving for the second set. Quick Tim Hardin story. Friend went to Woodstock with sister and friends when he was 17. They found themselves a million miles from the stage, way up on top of the hill, barely able to hear anything. Only thing they heard was part of Tim Hardin's set late Friday night. Then they said screw this and left for home the next morning.

You have to wonder how much joy was in his life.

Yeah, a lot of these are brilliant love songs, but also very sad

Heartbreaking.

tranewreck:

Love the covers but for me Tim does Tim best.

Saw him perform twice- and both times he struggled through the short set
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:42pm
Funky16Corners:

@Jeff - I'll bet if people are being honest, there are a lot of similar Woodstock stories
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:43pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey tranewreck! I suspect that was true for most of the later part of his career
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:43pm
Funky16Corners:

It's kind of amazing how short and to the point most of his original versions are
  3:47pm
CalZone!:

Red Balloon is my fave TH song. I discovered through the Small Faces...
  🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:47pm
WR:

Wow tranewreck, hope his struggling didn't totally ruin your experience of getting to see Hardin.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:47pm
Funky16Corners:

Several of these originals are sub-two-minutes
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:48pm
Funky16Corners:

@Cal - Small Faces coming up later

I don't know what recordings I first heard, but the Faces / Rod Stewart ones are what I best remember.

I must admit I didn't hear Tim Hardin's version of "How Can You Hang On to a Dream" until after listening to the Nice's version and Gandalf's version many times and for many years.

Thank you to everyone that has donated. We cannot see who is pledging this time out, so I can't thank you individually.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:07pm
Mike Sin:

That Verve "Best of Tim Hardin" comp from the early '70s was a bargain bin staple for decades. There's a hell of a lot of bang for the buck on that one!
  4:07pm
tranewreck:

@WR. It was THE experience- not in any way ruined- but Tim Hardin in sharp relief.

This song was originally recorded by Hardin under the title 'While You're On Your Way'
