One of my favorite tunes that came from Tim and Chris was John Hiatt’s “The Tiki Bar Is Open”. I was really intrigued by the lyrics and wondered what they were all about. I listened to the song over and OVER. Such a great groove with a junky kinda beat. I loved it. As always, after I listen to a tune like that, I have to figure out how to transcribe it to work with my skill set. Ultimately came up with an arrangement and I love playing this tune on every gig to this day.
