    For me the best moment in this video is when Tim is asked to sign the wall, and makes sure to leave space for his bandmates. That speaks volumes of his character and mindset. Every one of these guys could have great solo careers but they've built something beautiful TOGETHER and it was just lovely to see that it was instinctual for Tim to acknowledge the significance of that, in a moment where he could have easily not done so.

      @kaldurskipper6821 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Agreed. To me, it's details like this that can show you who someone really is. Anyone can master a fake smile to put on for others, but when put on the spot to do something which could easily become self-centered, it takes humility to think of friends, family, and others who have gotten to that point with you

    Thank you , Tim. I live in Alabama now, but I am originally from Mississippi. My Great Aunt and Uncle moved to that area after WORLD WAR 2. They were actually there in the ballroom getting down to BUDDY HOLLY, THE BIG BOPPER, and RICHEY VALENZ for that concert and dance. I remember all of my family being really upset, but I didn't quiet UNDERSTAND because I was very young. For the rest of their lives they continued to live in Texas. I still remember being so excited about what kind of gift they would bring me when they would come home (MISSISSIPPI) for a couple of weeks to visit every summer. THANKS TIM, for a little trip down memory lane!😉😂😷😎

So many famous artists have come through there. I don't know about Tim, but that gave me the chills. I remember that sad day when that plane crashed, just like it was yesterday. Thank you to Tim, and Home Free for taking us on that journey with him. What an amazing gift!

    There is a venue in Indianapolis called the Indiana Roof Ballroom. It is on the sixth floor. All the big bands played there in the 40s. Backstage there is an old stage door behind plexiglass with autographs of some of the big band members, and the ratings that the backstage crew gave each band on their performance. The dance floor is oak and the boards are bent because the room is round. A very beautiful place to dance.

    Whoa. I grew up listening to scratchy old 45s of the Big Bopper that my Grandmom had. Waylon Jennings' signature on the wall...there's a good interview with him on here about his return.

    I've been to Clear Lake many times as I have relatives in the Algona/Fenton area where my dad grew up. It would be awesome to see a video made at the "Grotto of the Redemption" in West Bend, Iowa. Such a beautiful setting for Home Free to record.

      So do I! Grew up in Algona and my parents went to the Surf many times during the years.

    it reminds me of the La Bamba movie (from the 80s) with Lou Diamond Phillips ... the scene from the Winter Dance Party Tour ... i wonder if the scene was filmed at the actual Surf Ballroom? i'm thinking it wasn't ...

    With respect to "Field of Dreams". "Is this Heaven?" "No it's the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake Iowa!" Hope when Home Free gets back there they plan to perform!

    Tim, thanks for sharing, really cool and sad. Puuulease get some Texas shows on the Home Free schedule! Otherwise it looks like I might have to go to Colorado in November to see you! I'm a southern girl and can't drive in the snow! Even though Texas looked and felt like Colorado recently...Ok, now I'm rambling. Loved hearing your speaking voice too! 😜
