IAQ (Infrequently Asked Questions)

Was Tiny Tim Right or Left Handed?

I NOTICED FROM THE PICTURES THAT TINY HELD AND PLAYED THE UKE LEFT HANDED. BUT THEN I ALSO SAW THAT IN THE EARLIER YEARS PICTURES, IT WAS THE RIGHT HAND. WAS THIS A REVERSED PICTURE OR WHAT?

Tiny was naturally left handed. He was having headaches so to stimulate the other side of his brain he taught himself to write with his right hand. Once he did this for a while he said the headaches stopped! You can tell when a picture of him is reversed by which side his hair is parted on. If it's parted on his right the picture is reversed. Tiny always played his full sized guitar right handed. Sometimes he played his uke right handed as seen in the "Ironside" clip.
