Hello Ernie,
Love tinytim.org.
In regard to the question about Tiny Tim performing in a club in Hollywood FL:
Yes, he did work for a time at Hemmingway Restaurant at 219
North 21st Avenue, Hollywood, FL -- sometime in the 1980s,
to early 1990s at the latest. I used to live about a quarter
mile down the road, but it's too long ago for me to pin
the dates down any closer.
He worked somewhat as a maitre d' as well as
performing. Although the restaurant has long been
closed, the building still stands and can be seen in street
view at googlemaps.com (called the "X Lounge" when
the google photo was taken; it's the two-story building
with the striped awnings). If I recall correctly, this
gig lasted several months.
