On Oct. 30, 2009, Richard Barone and friends celebrated the album release of the new TIny Tim CD, I'VE NEVER SEEN A STRAIGHT BANANA. (Collector's Choice Label). Tiny was definitely there in spirit!
In this video, Deni Bonet is performing the Tiny Tim original tune DEAR TUESDAY. This was a love song from Tiny Tim to Tuesday Weld.
Deni Bonet is a singer/songwriter and world-class electric violinist. She was an original cast member of National Public Radio's premier music show, MOUNTAIN STAGE and has performed with Cyndi Lauper, REM, Sarah McLachlan, Robyn Hitchcock, etc. before forming her own highly regarded band. She's appeared at Lilith Fair, performed on Saturday Night Live, Conan, and the Today Show. Deni quit the classical world to pursue a solo career because she hated wearing black and having to sit still! The Wall Street Journal recently described Deni's music as "like Sheryl Crow meets the B52's". Her new CD called "LAST GIRL ON EARTH" has just been released. Buy it. You'll like it!

Is there any instrument this girl CAN'T play? Anyway, this is a very cute song and Deni sings it with just the right degree of tongue-in-cheekiness that I'm sure Tiny Tim meant it to have. Although many people (myself included) thought of him as a bit of a clown, hearing his stuff performed by someone else without the falsetto voice is quite startling. He's a lot deeper than I had thought. And how about THAT for a product endorsement at the end!!!
