Editor's note: with a blank back cover and only a newspaper clipping to surmise from after Google came up with no specific search results, I can only guess that Mr. Hazel was a local Detroiter active on the bar scene as a cover artist. I think the newspaper article refers to his supporting band as Brush Creek but I can't be sure since it is a little tattered at the end where the pertinent information is. Anyhow, his band mates were: Charlie Jakubowski, Marcia Clum and Duane Wiggs. Maybe one of them will do a search and find this and spill the beans about the whole Tim Hazel experience.

I worked at a place called Marco's in Farmington Hills, Michigan in 1973-75. Tim used to perform there with 3 other guys. One's name was Dave and a couple of brothers whose names I cannot remember. He used to sing Donna by Richie Valens and being my name (and his wife's or daughter's name, I can't remember) I would pretend he was singing it for me! :-) The place was turned into a disco eventually, I quit and lost track of the band.....loved their music!!! Been searching for them ever since I got online!
Donna Channell Waltz

I found the Hardesty brothers who played with Tim in the 70's! Dave and Ron. Ron still performs, but I don't know about Dave. maybe they know where Tim is? I found a listing for Tim in Owosso, MI but I do not have the $$ to pay for the full info....
Anyway here's Ron's Facebook address:
