Trivia note time: Tiptoe was song from that era, Ukeleles were more common 
in that era, but ironically, the original of Tiptoe wasn't played on a uke.

Now that I think about it, Tim was a big league musicologist who knew all 
about pre-rock pop music from his early childhood and before he was born. 
Doesn't that make him the spiritual father of us all?
