As much as I'd prefer this first tune to be Andy playing live, I opted for the clearest, prettiest recording available instead. Once you hear it, I think you'll agree this was a good choice.
(Bwhaaa - Andy Timmons, "Electric Gypsy")
(spritzer - Andy Timmons, "Cry For You")
Prevailing wisdom says I should write up something about Timmons, but I honestly don't feel cobbling together a bunch of facts from a few websites will enhance the music any. So, just have a listen and Google him if you're interested. That's what I do.

Beautiful site, Joanie!!
thanks, Pam! It's nice to be set up and moving forward.
These 2 recordings speak to me on a level that is difficult, if not impossible to describe. I was so fortunate to unknowingly walk into a small blues club and see him performing! Those are the best kind of surprises.
Absolutely the best kind of surprise! I get that here every now and again. Hoping it'll happen with Walter Trout this week. Sammy Avila - Walter's keyboard player - and his boys will go to the jam after and give us more than we could ever hope to find in some bar. Last time they had everyone standing on tables, chairs, barstools, bars, etc...enraptured with their take on Whipping Post. And let me tell you, it was something to behold. I've never heard anything like it. Surpassed Allman Bros. For real. Sonic wall of pure music.
When you come across that, you can't walk away. You just can't. And Timmons has been a fantastic discovery for me. Thank you for bringing him to my world.
I was short on time and ideas for my "Turn It Up Tuesday" post so I used Andy today myself. I posted 4 of them, not sure if you've heard the other 2 yet.
No worries, Stu! I like the two extras you included. Peace of mind, baby.
