This channel contains the songs of Tim Harrison whose work is acclaimed by Sing Out! magazine, Acoustic Guitar, Folk Roots and others, and who was dubbed "Canada's Cinematic Songwriter" by the Boston Globe. You'll also find Tim's covers of other artists he admires and his experiments in modding a lap steel guitar.

Here's hoping you find a pleasant tune, or a story which rings true for you. Welcome.
Weaving
A new original written during a back-yard meditation. Recorded in the studio adjacent my partner's garden, a joyful place to work, write, and make music.

Georgia on My Mind (Hoagy Carmichael/Stuart Gorrell)

Georgia On My Mind - Some debate as to whether Stuart Gorrell wrote the lyrics for the State of Georgia, or Hoagy Carmichael's sister Georgia. There is no doubt that either way, Hoagy and Stuart wrote one of the great songs...

This song was written while living on Gabriola Island and listening to the great band of retired professional players who lived there jam in a club facing the town circle. Thrilling!

Photos From Summerfolk 1976 by Rodger Tippin
Просмотров 77Год назад
My oldest friend Rodger Tippin, a great drummer, is also a fine photographer. He was part of the the first volunteer team at Summerfolk in it's first year, 1976. Through a series of mishaps and basement floods, much of his Summerfolk photography was lost but this video contains photos that, gratefully, were spared. There are some blurry ones and some pristine ones, but they all express the feel...

The great song written by Robert Wells and Mel Torme. For all of the folks who have been so supportive of my own songwriting and music over the years.
Tim Harrison - Lap Steel - Dylan's I Shall Be Released
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.2 года назад
Obsession with modifying the Recording King lap steel and learning to play it has not been lifted. After installing Certano benders, replacing tuners with Vintage Grovers, and replacing pickup, the latest mod is new volume and tone controls replacing the old pots with a better grade and soldering them into place. My respect for all players of various slide guitars has grown enormously, and I am...
Tim Harrison - Amazing Grace on Lap Steel (see the story below)
Просмотров 6662 года назад
So...the last of the Covid obsessions (I think). A few months ago I got intrigued with watching videos about the lap steel guitar...always have loved the sound of lap steel and pedal steel. I came across a video by a fellow named Troy Brenningmeyer who is a lap/pedal steel teacher and he was talking about a modification he did to an inexpensive lap steel, installing benders on strings 2 and 3. ...

Rocket Radio
Просмотров 2872 года назад
This song is a tribute to the crystal radio from the 50's and 60's, one in particular in the shape of a rocket and great for listening to at night. It also celebrates "The Big 8" CKLW radio which broadcast rock and R'andB' music and had a blistering 50,000 watts of power beaming out from Windsor Ontario. I used to listen every night with my Rocket Radio!
Summerfolk Live 79, The Complete Album
Просмотров 853 года назад
In 1979 as Artistic Director of the Summerfolk Festival I decided that the festival ought to record part of the event, partly for posterity, and partly for the enjoyment of people who could just not get enough of Summerfolk! We set up a very basic operation to record a stereo signal from the board, and then acquired permission from the artists whose performances we decided to use. Those were th...
