Tim Beaton is a (very) part-time musician, who works at a small college in West London which trains psycho-therapists and counselors. He runs the Windows network for the staff and (as the only male on the regular staff) just about everything else on the technical side.
Tim started out on violin as a kid but soon got seduced into the Evil World of Rock Music, acquiring some modest skills on guitar and bass along the way. He's played in various bands over the years, none of which any of you will have ever heard. The longest lasting of these was The Flavel Bambi Septet, which, apart from one gig, never actually featured exactly 7 members. Basic integer mathematics wasn't their strong point. Neither was musical accuracy. But both of these kinds of oversights have always been okay in the Evil World of Rock Music. (This, much to the benefit of The Flavel Bambi Septet and bands of similar ilk.)
A grim CD of several of their tracks could be made available to anybody foolhardy enough to want to listen to any of it. Tim says that they "...mainly played covers of middle-eastern pop classics from the 40's to 70's, and so far, Warda hasn't sued them yet! Neither has Om Kolsoum -- but as she is no longer numbered amongst the living, we might get away with it for quite some time to come."
Tim has been grazing at the COW for 18 months as an enthusiatic but amateur FCP user. He has been a Mac user in general since about 1986.
