Though it never dampened
his love for music, Tim suffered
from a severe hearing disorder in his early years. And, as a young
man, he was very much a loner. But after seven ear operations, he
finally overcame the hearing problem that had interrupted his
schooling for weeks at a time. By the time he was 16, Tim was
digesting every word of every guitar magazine within his reach and
writing country songs. |
