Those of you who grew up in the sixties and seventies may remember the singer/songwriter, Tim Buckley. But did you know that he lived in Amsterdam until he was nine years old, when his family relocated to Orange County, California?…

You can find numerous Tim Buckley songs and videos on YouTube including the one shown above which is my personal favorite, “Song to the Siren”, from an episode of The Monkees TV show in 1967.

You can read the rest of this story in my new book “A Year’s Worth of Amsterdam Birthdays.” To order your copy, click here.

The Amsterdam Birthday Blog would like to thank former Amsterdam resident Tim Kelly for contributing this article about Tim Buckley.
