| I was able to visit briefly with a friend from several years ago while at the Texas show. His name is Tim Marlin and he lives in the Houston area. I would like to make contact with him again so if any of you guys or gals know of Tims whereabouts please let me know. I have a rather interesting story concerning him and his wife while at the Texas show. |

| Thanks guys for the info. Let me tell the story here on the forum. Tim lived here in Gainesville several years ago before he moved to the Houston area. I took a new steel player, Clint Sturgeon, to the Texas show this year and he told me he thought that his third grade teacher was on the front row. We got up and moved to the back while the players were changing sets. I saw Tim headed to the mens room and went and visited with him briefly. He told me his wife was a school teacher and had come in that Saturday morning for the show. When I went back to the main room Clint told me he went to see if that lady was his third grade teacher. He said it was his teacher and she was married to a man named Tim Marlin and they live in Houston. I told him that was the man I had just went and visited with. I just started laughing saying how odd it was for both of us to know people from years ago and they wind up married to each other. I guess it is a small world.

Hey Paul - I've known Tim since he moved to the Houston area a few years ago. He owns a coffe-shop/restaurant in the Brazos Mall in Lake Jackson, TX, and his wonderful wife, "Miss Wanda" still teaches. My little two-year old boy thinks Miss Wanda hung the moon! We play solid country music and western swing every Monday night at the coffee shop...big full band, with fiddle, guitar, piano, bass, drums and TWO steels - Tim and myself. It's a blast, and folks dance in the hallway of the Mall!
Tim plays the Bb6 tuning, with big, fat chords all night...what fun it is!

| Thanks guys for the help and comments. I did talk with Tim this morning for a brief time. I was a teenager when I met Tim several years ago. After I got my first steel in 1979 I became more acquainted with Tim and would go to his house and hear him play. I remember he played with some local bands then he moved off and I lost track of him. Two years ago at the Texas show I ran into him after several years and he did not look a day older. His wife is a super nice lady and looks like Tim is doing well. So Tim, best wishes to you in your business and I sure am happy you found such a sweet wife. I do envy being able to sit down and pick that often with other guys, but if I know Tim I bet he is having a blast. |
