Herbert Buckingham (Tiny Tim) Khaury

At the age of six, he began teaching himself guitar. By his pre-teen years, he developed a passion for records, specifically those from the 1900s through the 1930s. He began spending most of his free time at the New York Public Library, reading about the history of the phonograph industry and its first recording artists. He would research sheet music, often making photographic copies to take home to learn, a hobby he continued for his entire life.

Tiny was a huge fan of Arthur Godfrey and taught himself to play using a method book that came with the Godfrey-endorsed Maccaferri Islander plastic ukulele.

Tiny Tim played the ukulele left-handed, but the guitar right-handed, though he retained the standard string placement.

His rendition of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" was a main part of the 2011 horror film Insidious.
Comment: Alex perez
I kinda wish Insidious didn't have Tiny Tim's song in it, now everyone is being so judgemental and saying its creepy because of insidious. And I'm like wow. Just. Wow. I'm so disappointed in humans :/

Tiny Tim was married three times and had one daughter from his first marriage to Victoria Budinger.

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

I should have said excellent post. The catch was finding it to show us.

At the risk of looking dumb, I have to admit I didn't get this either time you posted it. Explain it to me like I was 4 years old please.
