Dear Tim: I am currently involved in the writing of an authorized biography on Billy Sheehan. He has mentioned to me and to others over the years that you and your playing were a major influence in him starting to play and continuing all these years.

I wanted to know if you would consider some kind of comment for this book on Billy that I could use? It can be either by email or a phone chat, your choice.

My email is bassstory1@yahoo.ca and if this is agreeable that would be much appreciate and I would full accreditation for the comments or quotes you might chose to make on his playing and the guy himself. Please feel free to contact Billy to verify the book and my involvement in it.

Best regards,oh and one more thing. He and I have spent more than a few minutes talking about the releases you made over the year and in both our cases, the Near the Beginning album wore away more than one needle on the player in those days gone by!
