In this show, mr.K speaks with Justin Martell, co-author with Alanna Wray MacDonald of the critically acclaimed biography of performer, Tiny Tim called : *Eternal Troubadour : The Improbable Life of Tiny Tim*.

To call Justin an afficianado of all things Tiny Tim is something of an understatement, as you'll hear in this interview. TT has been a life long obsession of Justin's.

The book, so brilliantly researched and structured, draws on more than one hundred interviews with family, friends and associates, plus access to Tiny's diaries, which have never before been made public.* Eternal Troubadour* tells the incredible true story of one of the most fascinating yet misunderstood figures in the history of popular music.

Based on the acclaimed biography 'Eternal Troubadour: The Improbable Life Of Tiny Tim' by Justin Martell with Alanna Wray McDonald, 'TINY' was a musical theater production fusing together extracts from Tiny's diary entries with the extraordinary fantasy lens through which he saw life and art. Tiny Tim was a natural-born romantic and it not only shaped his music, it also shaped his life. An extremely versatile singer and style mimic with a complex and fascinating life story, Tiny Tim is the perfect foundation for musical theater, boosted by the absolute love and passion of J. Michael Landis and Jay Wollin, the creators of the show.

This feature is a deep dive into the career of one of my favourite artists and voices, Cass Elliot. It explores why musician, Graham Nash once called this influential woman "the Gertrude Stein of Laurel Canyon". We hear some her fabulous material before becoming a founding member of The Mamas & The Papas, some of her solo work after and memories from contemporaries. Cass Elliot achieved much in an extraordinary, albeit short life and career.
