...wonder. Tiny Tim is a gentle soul who happens to be the most bizarre entertainer this side of Barnum & Bailey's sideshow. His specialties are pop songs from early decades of the century, and his performances flicker with a genuine talent for re-creating the styles of such stars of the era as Arthur Fields, Gene Austin, Ruth Etting and Russ Columbo.
