Recently, Tim had the pleasure to sit-in with lengendary guitarist Cliff Goodwin who was the lead guitarist with New England's "American Standard Band" through 1974. He joined forces with Joe Cocker in 1976 and later became Joe's musical director. For the next 12 years, Goodwin toured the globe with Cocker, performing on many of his famous recordings. Goodwin also played on Robert Palmer's "Secrets" L.P. featuring the smash hit single, "Bad Case of Lovin' You", and has shared the stage with such legendary icons as Steve Miller, John Mayall, and famous British pianist Nicky Hopkins.
