The Context Of The Interview

4 April 1992

March 1992: Tiny Tim arrives in Australia for the ‘People Are Strange’ tour.

25 March: Dylan concert. Robbie and I go with Martin, Tim and Emma. At one point we thought Tiny would be coming too.

1 April: Terry, Bernadette, Tim, Blazey and someone else are at Martin’s place. Plus Tiny is being interviewed by Drum Media in the side room. I say ‘hi’ to him. He says he’ll be back in 10 minutes, but he is whisked off to the Clive Robertson Show instead. He’s already done TV today – Ray Martin with Chad Morgan. Tiny is wearing his Mickey Mouse (b/w) suit today.

4 April: Tiny talks to me and Joel all afternoon. Prior to this interview we both sit with him at Martin’s house while he signs about 200 posters. Martin is not present because he is at the Australian Galleries setting up his painting exhibition.
I play to Tiny some songs on guitar – believe it or not – to keep him awake while signing posters! I keep him awake with my singing and then we go into the long room and talk. After this I drive him back to the Savoy Double Bay where he is staying.
