Happy 70th Birthday Tim Kerr!

Raising a glass to musician and visual artist Tim Kerr on his 70th! Here's an interview and clips from his new Up Around The Sun album Water Valley. 

Writes Tim Kerr...

Today I turn 70 SEVENTY! The line from Old Friends ( Simon & Garfunkel), keeps playing in my head ..... "how terribly strange to be 70" .....

There is a lot of travel coming up this year but between the state of the U.S. right now with the rest of the world , and my health issues at the moment ( annoying but not stopping me), I am hoping that we WILL get to travel . I am really looking forward to Japan again in October.Before that there is music and art in L.A. (mid May school murals and music), New Orleans (first weekend of June), and Lilydale (end of July). I have, and have had a rare skin cancer on my right side for years called mycosis fungoides that got worse and now painful the last half of last year, and then pancreatitis on top of that at the end of last year, so its been a balancing act of treatments going into this year. Getting old is cool but sorta sucks too (big smile)

Still sliding when I can on water and cement , painting most every day , and playing acoustic "wooden music" with friends. Super excited about the Kneeboards with Picnic. This time next year I will have a book coming out on Akashic which I am honored and grateful for the opportunity . I have been told that the Big Boys doc is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel so fingers crossed . Joe and Andrew nailed down a great story line and what I have seen footage wise looks good. Poison 13's first LP will be a reissue on vinyl in a couple of months on Laundromat Records. As I have said many times before , as much as I have gotten to see and do , I hope I haven't seen the best thing yet . I wave the flag Outlier proudly that I have been called and as always John Coltrane! John Coltrane!! John Coltrane!!! Still with Beth as it should be . Hug and celebrate your friends and chosen family while they are here NOW.

Here are links if you might want any art from me or music that I am a part of ..... you will be supporting good friends/chosen family of mine , and me if you choose to do so (smile) One foot in front of the other.70! Here we go ....
