Tiny was the kind of performer who could win anyone over if they would just be open minded enough to realize what a great entertainer he was. He once played for a bar full of tough Texans who showed up just to heckle him. Tiny began his show to the sound of laughter and insults. by the time he got to his third song the heckling had stopped and the patrons were cheering hom and yelling "We love you Tiny"! After the show they all stayed to meet with him and get his autograph as well as photos of themselves with him. Tiny was a very nice down to earth person who had many many fans all over the world. he is missed very much and we will never see another entertainer like him again. When all else fails I think of this quote by Jonathan Swift; "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him". Thank you for your question and I hope my answer will make people who don't understand Tiny take the time to learn more about him and enjoy his amazing music.

Best,
