The photo of the deck was courtesy of
a fan who was at the show Tim & Jenny presented in April 2002 (if this
is your photo, please send us your name and we'll add it to the credits).
 Tim
& Jenny were on a tour in SE Arizona and New Mexico to promote Jenny's new
"Songs of Trees" CD and to celebrate Arbor Day. Here they
are singing "O Tree" to the spectacular
Arizona sycamore that the deck surrounds--a tree so special to Dolan that
a section of it was chosen to be the background on these pages.
Tim Wiedenkeller is a multi-talented
virtuoso on banjo, guitar, mandolin, and voice, as well as songwriter and
composer and producer. This was his fourth visit to the Arizona Folklore
Preserve, and as always, he brought a very talented guest artist with him. An
accounting of those visits up through May 2004, including a photo gallery,
a cover page newspaper article, and a review, can be found on the AFP site
in a page about Tim (www.arizonafolklore.com/tim.htm). Tim also has
his own Web site, www.timwiedenkeller.com.
Jenny Bird is from Taos, New Mexico,
so popular as a singer / songwriter / guitarist that she was a recipient
of the People's Choice Award for best folksinger. She and Tim took
turns singing mostly their original songs and accompanying each other very
competently. At the end of the show, they called Dolan to the stage
again (he had opened the show) and the three of them sang one of Dolan's
favorite songs, "The Water is Wide," each taking a verse.
Their last song on that stage was "This
Little Light of Mine." Tim is always one to do the unexpected,
and he suddenly stepped down from the stage and down the center aisle, with
Jenny following close behind him and Dolan just a few steps after. They
led the audience to the deck and underneath the big Arizona sycamore tree,
where they finished that song and then sang, "O
Tree." It was truly one of those magical AFP moments.
