Untitled[edit]

This is my first contribution. I struggled with the format. Mention of a lot of albums was left out because I couldn't figure out how to format everything. Should I have entered the information that I gathered about his wife and child? If so would it be best to try for a chronological order or seperate things as much as possible. There dosent seem to be a consistent style to articles for similiar artists. I tried to keep it as dry as possible.

Good thing you kept it "dry". I would not have been able to. Hardin's "Red Balloon" is something from my childhood I will never forget. I must have been 11 or so. First time I discovered I could truly understand English (not my native language). First time also, perhaps, that I was really moved by a piece of poetry in *any* language. To be honest: I was absolutely shot in the heart with the tragedy of those lyrics. The way it made me feel, never went away and it became part of my personality. I remember I taped the song on the old small reel tape recorder I had, wrote out the song's lyrics, memorizing them. I'm now a better man for it, I'm sure. Sorry for rambling.
I hope someone is going to write more about Tim. I would if I could because I owe something to this artist. 80.126.3.128 23:27, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a mention that Red Balloon was also covered by Kula Shaker in 1996 as a B side to one of their single releases. Great version. I will now have to check out Tim Hardin's original, which I have never heard. Ionlyhaveonename (talk) 22:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Fair use rationale for Image:Timhardin.jpg[edit]

It's a shame the pics got knocked out. Fair use would support at least one non-free image.

I'd also like to see some mention of "Hang On To A Dream". Wwwhatsup (talk) 13:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additional cover for 'If I Were A Carpenter'[edit]

Please Note: Didn't Kris Kristofferson cover 'If I were a carpenter' and sing it on either the 'Ed Sullivan Show' or the 'Johnny Cash Show'?

Covers section[edit]

I think this section is out of hand. Everyone and their brother does a Hardin song, no matter how minor the act, or how minor the song. What if there were such a section in other composer's bios who are much more famous? Each song that has its own page should suffice for mention of who has covered it. A statement that Hardin has had many covers of his songs and examples of some who had great success with them... that should be enough. What say you?

stage fright[edit]

Why does stage fright here link to glossophobia, not stage fright? PtrQs (talk) 11:30, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Updates and archiving[edit]

Hi folks, I hadn't intended to do much work on this article, but just started pottering around and somehow, it kept developing! I have added a new section Tributes and legacy which others can improve obviously. There are some new references and I will try and get them all archived over the next day or so. Sorry for not putting a comment in each time I saved an edit! But I think it does look a little more up to date. I welcome feedback here. Oh yes, I did some reflisting as well. It allows a cleaner window for visual changes and having all the references in one list is quite handy. Realitylink (talk) 00:13, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
