Tim and his wife recently had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with Paul McCartney of the Beatles.  During the course of their conversations, Paul told Tim how much he still loves to perform in front of appreciative crowds.  He said he still really loves to be on stage to see the people who enjoy his music have such a great time. After talking about live performing with Paul they got into a conversation about harmonies and vocals.

Tim told Paul how much he really loved the song “The Long And Winding Road” and he started to sing the song with Paul quickly joining in.  Needless to say, singing together with Paul McCartney that night was such a great experience and it got Tim thinking about performing live again with some prodding by Paul.
