TIM DRUMMOND 1940-2015

I met Tim Drummond, the great bass player, when i started recording Harvest in Nashville back on February 6 of 1971. The first song we played was ‘Bad Fog of Lonliness’. Through the years, Tim played bass on many of my most loved recordings.

Tim was an unbelievably great bass player, holding down his magical groove on every song we did. I was so fortunate to play with him. The groove he lays down on ‘Old King’ on September 3 1991, was and still is, pure magic. As a human being, Tim was a joy to know, always positive and funny, always ready to play - great guy, very funny, and a truly wonderful musician.

On MTV Unplugged, Long May You Run, was one of the last songs Tim and i played together. That was on February 7, 1993. Love you Tim. Thanks for everything you did for me and my music. love neil
