Welcome to Tim Tunes. I’m Tim Rose and I’ve been writing songs for over 50 years. This is the initial pod cast of Tim Tunes where each week I’ll feature two or three songs that I’ve written over the years on a particular theme or subject. In the podcast I’ll explain what I am doing in each song, where they came from and the circumstances under which they were recorded.

Everyone has a family. It may be your natural family or the family that you create around you. It may be a work family or a family of friends. Last week, I had the pleasure to visit with family. Some of whom I had never met, and some that I hadn’t seen in many, many years

Sarcasm is considered one of the lowest forms of humor. Essentially, sarcasm is when you take the opposite point of view on something to show its flaws. The root of the word sarcasm comes from an ancient Greek word meaning the tearing of flesh, as if by looking under the skin the truth is revealed. It is often considered a lower form of humor as it is usually cruel as it ridicules the target.

I believe it was Sir Paul and not St. Paul who wrote, “You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs. I look around me and I see it isn't so.” Indeed. Romantic love, as opposed to platonic love, includes an element of sexual intimacy. Sort of a love with benefits, if you will or, if you won’t. That is the question!

The Egyptian book of the dead states that to speak the name of the dead is to bring them back to life. Many who pass stay in our hearts and minds long after they are gone. Some people are so iconic and important to our personal mythologies that they live on in our behavior, our opinions, our affect and even in our physical qualities.

Welcome to Season Three, Episode One of the Tim Tunes Podcast. As promised, we are using a new format for this season that includes interviews with some of the people that were most influential to me along the way. This episode features an interview with my wife Marcy, arguably the most influential of all of my influencers and who is still influencing me to this day!

I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes pod cast. In this episode we’ll interview my wife Marcy Dobrow Rose and look at some of the songs she’s been a part of along the way. 

In lieu of specifying a particular cause that Marcy would like you to donate to, she has asked that we all be kinder to each other and more civil in our discourse and actions towards each other.

Dottie Lou has long been one of my most popular songs. Every band I play in wants to play it. Everyone who plays the song wants to meet Dottie. Today we’ll break down the song and try to discover what makes it so popular and, we’ll have a little chat with Dottie Lou Crisp, herself. Live and in person. And catch up with her and what she’s been doing with herself the last 30 years or so.

I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes pod cast. In this episode we’ll dive into the song Dottie Lou and speak with the lady herself.
