Jack Norton sings at Tiny Tim's Grave, Lakewood Cemetery, Minneapolis, Minnesota

I Sang at Tiny Tim’s Grave! | Playing “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” on My Ukulele at Lakewood Cemetery [VIDEO]

ByJack Norton October 6, 2025

Here’s a video I’ve been wanting to make for a long, long time. Growing up in Minneapolis, Tiny Tim lived across the street from me. He was my babysitter, gave me my first ukulele, eventually became a friend and a mentor.

Thought it would be nice to go sing a tune at his grave. Show you around. Also take you to his house. Hope you like this one!

Cheers,
Jack

Heigh-ho, everybody, heigh-ho! I've been singing vaudeville blues music since 1925. I also host a radio show (and podcast), make movies, write books, and perform children's music under the name "Conductor Jack" - from the kids show I have with my wife Kitty called The Zinghoppers. I live in Nashville, TN and Winona, MN (where I drink lutefisk lattes and say "uff da" a lot).
