Με ιδιαιτερη χαρά ανεβάζω αυτο το αρχείο του CyTimmons. Δίχως πολλές φλυαρίες πρόκειται περί ενός
εξαίρετου του δίσκου απο την αρχή ως το
τέλος. Απολαύστε τον.
As
a young Alabama
man born to a musical family, Cy Timmons was destined to have music in his
veins. Everywhere he went Cy seemed to have a song resonating in his head.
Cy
was thrilled when he discovered his dad’s guitar sitting in the back of a
closet. It had been sitting idle for years but a new set of strings and the
enthusiastic attention of a young music enthusiast gave the guitar new life.
Once Cy felt that he had mastered this steel stringed acoustic guitar, he set
his sights on an electric guitar. He lobbied his parents until he got the
guitar he wanted as a gift for his nineteenth birthday. From the electric
guitar Cy migrated to the classical guitar. That has been his mainstay from
then on.
Cy Timmons - Moonshine Wine (1976)
Over
the years Cy has developed a repertoire of jazz, old standards, and
contemporary pop, as well as his original compositions. Followers of Cy will
attest to the fact that he has a special gift for invigorating you with his
music. In addition to his music, Cy has a flair for comedic interaction.
He’ll mellow you out with a song and then liven you up with a joke.
If
you have been around Highlands for several years, you are sure to have heard Cy
perform in one venue or another. He doesn’t limit himself to the Plateau
either. Clubs on both the east and west coast have seen Cy perform as he
has pursued his study of the guitar.
The
soft melodic tones of Cy’s voice are the result of natural talent and studies
with the late Judy Davis in Oakland, voice coach to many vocalists including
Barbara Streisand. He has worked many musical venues in San Francisco and
in Los Angeles. He was even the opening act for folks like Joan Rivers,
Peter Nero, Al Jarreau and David Steinbereg.
Lucky
for us, in 1970 Cy decided to move back to Atlanta and eventually opened Café
Erewhon where he wowed audiences for eleven years before moving to Highlands,
in 1993. He and his wife, Carolyn, reside in the Scaly Mountain community.
Cy Timmons grew up in Atlanta,
Georgia, graduated from North Fulton High School and attended what is now the
University of Montevallo in Alabama. His love of music led him to pursue a
career in entertainment as a guitarist/singer. Having performed in Atlanta for
several years he moved to San Francisco to study music at the same time performing
in the city’s many caberets and clubs, including the famed Purple Onion.
Cy Timmons - Mama Let Go (1976)
His
career led him to Los Angeles, where he had continued success. But his love of
the South brought him back to Atlanta and he opened Café Erewhon in midtown
Atlanta, entertaining his fans for eleven years. He performed in Cashiers,
North Carolina at the popular Market Basket restaurant for almost ten years and
continues to entertain his fans at the Hummingbird Lounge in the Old Edwards
Inn most weekends.
While living in Atlanta, Cy and his
wife, Carolyn, purchased and renovated several homes, an endeavor they found
both challenging and satisfying and confirming their belief in the value of
real estate ownership. In the late 1980’s Cy purchased a small farm eight miles
outside of Highlands in Scaly Mountain, North Carolina, where he and Carolyn
spent most weekends. In 1993 they left Atlanta to make it their permanent home.
