		Tim DeLaughter, late of Tripping Daisy, currently masterminding the Polyphonic Spree, was nothing short of living up to his reputation for being one of the nicest men in Dallas.
		Whether or not the adversity that Tim suffered at the end of the decade and at the end of the millennium is the direct motivating factor is best left to speculation.
		Tim was justifiably preoccupied with the show, of which he had every right, especially considering that the opening act was a wedding.

		DeLaughter is quick to credit his fellow musicians, whose ages range from 14 to 35 and who play everything from car tailpipes to French horn.

		Tim: I felt it was necessary to do so in order to create the sound we were looking for, its an original sound and having that many people all contributing makes it a better sound.
		Tim: It’s strange because pretty much half the group came to me. We are also looking at qualities such as improvisation, which is very important, and how this person can improve the band.

		Tim usually has a pretty clear vision of what he's looking for, but he can be open to other ideas and looks for additional inspiration from what others might be playing.
		The ability to improvise while Tim is outlining a song is a requirement of being in the band.

		With DeLaughter and a nine-member choir gleefully intoning feel-good lyrics such as, "Hey now it's the sun, and it makes me shine!" while 10 musicians saw away behind them on everything from tubular bells to French horn to tuba, theremin to trombone to timpani, there's something undeniably goofy about the Polyphonic Spree.
		Indeed, DeLaughter has more in common with an amped-up preacher at a gospel revival meeting than he does with a traditional rock frontman.

		In these times of four- and five-piece outfits that put to use a smattering of instruments to bring forth the rock/pop sounds we've come to know, Delaughter, former singer/guitarist with alt-rock band Tripping Daisy, decided to go a different route with this ensemble.
		Ranging in age from 16-36, the group emerged two years ago as an arrangement that includes a 10-member choir backing a 14-member orchestra, made up everyone from high school students to music teachers to journalists.
		Delaughter says at first, he had his share of naysayers who didn't think there was any way to put such a huge ensemble together with much hope for organization, much less the ability to tour.
