In an email to my friend Joe a couple of weeks ago I was writing about the 'concept' for the show and jokingly/offhandedly said that I could probably connect Tiny Tim to Clint Eastwood in six steps. Joe replied, "Do it."
Here we go:
Tiny Tim appeared on an album titled "Big Band Blues" in 1991.
That album also featured vocals by Jimmy Rushing.
Jimmy Rushing joined Count Basie's band in the Thirties as a vocalist.
On a 1952 Count Basie album, "Count Basie Plays the Blues", Ray Brown was the bass player.
Ray Brown also played bass on the soundtrack of the 1988 Film "Bird".
Clint Eastwood was Executive Producer of the album.
Done. And that's actually just five steps. Four?
The Tiny-Tim-to-Clint-Eastwood challenge was featured on the December 8 show with the minor theme "Cliches".
