What an honour Tim! A few questions:

  1. It has been remarked that you and Freddie had similar voices (singing-wise). I can hear it a bit. What was it like doing harmonies with Brian and Roger?

  2. I know that both Doin' Alright and Step On Me were co-written by you and Brian. What was your party of those tracks?

  3. Did you consult at all with Jack Roth for the film?

  4. Were there any other songs written by you or the others during Smile that aren't currently known? Also, it seemed that Roger only wrote Blag, are you aware if he wrote any others?

  5. How proficient is your bass playing? And back in the late 60s, what was your opinion of Brian and Roger's playing?

Thank you for your time. You are a legend.

A few other questions:

  1. How did you come about designing the iconic grin for Smile?

  2. How did you come about naming the band Smile? What were your reasons?

  3. Last one. Brian has spoken of his impression of Roger when he auditioned. What were your impressions when he auditioned? And did you guys ever have any other drummers audition?
