Meet the maker
My name is Adrie Meijer. I was
born in 1957 in the Netherlands.
I work as a teacher in primary
school. In former days
I
worked as a music teacher. I started playing the guitar in 1975, inspired
by singer-songwriters like Al Stewart, James Taylor and Stephen Stills.
I bought my first Tim Buckley
record, Look at the fool, in 1976, after reading an article in a Dutch
magazine about his life and tragic death. When I put on the record for
the first time I felt disappointed when I heard horns, electric guitars
and a voice that was quite different from all the folkies I listened to.
But I decided to give it a chance,
bought Happy Sad a month later and then my fascination for Tim Buckley
started.
One day I searched the World
Wide Web for Tim Buckley Guitar Tabs but the results were very poor.
Then I decided to make
this songbook.
Tim's guitar tuning
Lee Underwood wrote me a letter
to explain how Tim tuned his guitar. Very important information for those
who want to play along with his songs. Read
it.
My Tim Buckley collection
I thought I had my collection
complete when I finally acquired Blue Afternoon in 1982. But now, twenty
years later my cd-collection not only includes these nine official
albums, but also all the posthumous releases and various bootlegs. View
my Tim Buckley collection.
Twelve to six
I am very proud of my two cd's
with instrumental Tim Buckley songs arranged for acoustic guitar.
Nothing commercial of course,
I made it for fun. Read more about it
