I just found this yesterday. It was interesting to read through!
Here are some things that stood out to me:

"I consider myself a singer first, and a rather basic bass player."

"Here they were asking me to join the band outright without playing one lick of music with them. I was ecstatic."

"...later on, when I did my first studio album with the band, The Long Run, I got to run with my own ideas. That was really satisfying. But I have no problem with playing Randy’s parts, and I have no illusions."

Tim seems like a great, down to earth guy. Not to mention his great talent (and his great looks haha )
