Timothy J. Spillane

Born: February 6, 1964

Started playing as a young tyke, aged 10 years, by picking up my father's Kay Jumbo Western acoustic and summarily bashing the living crap out of it...seeing as some of the God awful noise I was making resembled music, my older brother (Sean, RIP bro) decided to send me to study with local legend Lee Wondo to learn what I should and shouldn't do with stringed instruments. After 4 years (1978 - 1982) of intense drinking and not so intense studying on my part, Lee suggested that I consider pursuing another career as he felt I had no possible chance of actually playing a guitar with any semblance of talent (in your face Lee...although it was probably the best advice anybody has *ever* given me), but then I brought a bass up to one fateful lesson and he did a complete 180, even going s far as suggesting several local acts that he felt would hire me to play bass for them! Me being me, I was reluctant to follow with his advice once again
