Schmit Sexiness: The Timothy B. Schmit Photo Thread

[MaryCalifornia]

I'm thinking this pic is several years old...just from the length of his hair...and there's more gray in it now...

A lot more gray now!! From being about 25 feet away from him for 3 hours 3 months ago, I would say he is 70% gray now, but that could also be the lights. Although, I certainly know about coloring those grays!!! In any event, I'm glad SM put it up here b/c I have never seen it!

Yep - so I wonder if we could get some volunteers to go to Tim's house to color his hair!

Ooops, I guess it was me who stirred all that confusion about the photo being recent Sorry! It's just my wishful thinking - I want Timothy to record some new music so bad that I just took this pic for what it is - a "bass player" and a music producer at work!
By the way, do you think this photo was taken around 2003, when Timothy recorded for Ringo's Ringorama? (two wonderful videos might be seen here: http://www.timothybschmitonline.com/...stuffvideo.htm ,scroll down to find them). It looks like the same studio.

Mark Hudson co-wrote a few songs for Timothy’s 2000 album, Feed the Fire. Then, in 2003, they worked together on Ringo Starr’s album, Ringo Rama. The picture I posted should be from around 2010 and it looks like they could be at Mark Hudson's Whatinthewhatthe? Studios in Los Angeles. I wonder if they were writing or recording something together or just hanging out…
I love that picture, Timothy really looks great in it!

OK, OK, let it be me, since nobody else wants to do that...

Mark Hudson (aka Rainbow Brite per Soda hahahahah) sure seems like a character. I like the name of his studio!

2010 sounds about right, I was thinking maybe 5 years ago from Timothy's look.

I "could be convinced" to run my fingers through that wonderful head of hair

I suspect he quit smoking many years ago. He's even stated in a few interviews how much smoke bothers him and I remember reading a comment he made a few years back about how much he dislikes having to walk thru a casino in Vegas because of the smokers. Sadly I've seen a few photos of Ben in recent months where he's smoking and I've wondered if it's a bone of contention between the Schmit men. I would say it's probably a pretty safe bet that Ben doesn't smoke around his dad.

As for the timeframe and number of years he may have smoked, I'll throw this out there. My dad quit smoking 20 years before he died of lung cancer and my grandmother was smoke-free for over 40 years before she was diagnosed with oral/neck/throat cancer. In both cases the doctors said it was doubtful (but not absolute) that their prior smoking history had anything to do with it. Dad worked in an R&D lab for a vinyl manufacturer for years and his cancer was more likely attributable to the chemicals and toxins he was exposed to. The flip side is the high number of lung cancer cases caused by second-hand smoke. Keep in mind that venues allowed indoor smoking for years and years and everyone in the confines of the building was exposed. Imagine being in a giant room with 30,000+ people and 50% of them are puffing away! Nowadays you can't even smoke in outdoor facilities but think of the number of shows these guys did over the years in that type of environment. Scary!

So true.

When I saw Timothy solo in a casino in 2011, he asked the people in the showroom where he was playing to refrain from smoking. It was also posted on a sign there which said something like "no smoking per artist request."

I guess it's safe to say he's given it up! I hope his son does, too.
