| Comments: | I have been enjoying your Jewish music inspired (particularly) CDs for about 5 years now....Such lovely, soothing sounds - they're perfect for creating art to, or just having a cozy listen to on a cold, cloudy day, as your music warms the soul!...Actually, I believe I've even enjoyed them while driving through Southern California's wine country on a sunny summer's day, too. :) I love them all and look forward to more. I hope you'll come to Los Angeles some time soon.
Best Wishes! |

| Comments: | Shalom,
Tim, I must have spent an hour searching on my computer tonight trying to find the Tim S whom I had just barely heard before the program was over on radio station KQED here in San Jose, CA, this past Sunday, April 30. I believe it was a NPR broadcast. I immediately called the station to find out who was that awesome guitarist I just heard. They called me back the next day, and gave me your name and the CD named "At the Rebbe's Table". Well, I lost the paper, and could only remember Tim S, and the CD At The....... My search was not in vain, however, as I finally found your website! With all your travels, it appears that you have not played in California. Well, I hope to change that if I'm right. I will bring your name to the attention of the leaders of the Jewish Community Center in Los Gatos, CA. with the hope of inviting you to give a concert. Wow! Wouldn't that be kool! Hope to see and hear you play live one day soon. Shalom B'shem Adonai, Simone 5/3/2006 |

I love this type of music and when listening to it I get a feeling inside me which is beautiful. I would like to get some CDs of Mexician love songs and songs of their homeland. We Irish are always singing about our homeland, but I would love to learn some songs like "Cancion Mixteca"it is sad but beautifully harmonic. I hope some one will come to my rescue Paddy |

Tim, though I had never heard your music until you performed at LMC in April, I was blown away! Every song you played was dynamic and unlike most things I've heard before, even that "simple" song you learned when you were eleven or so. "Cornbread and Baklava" was my favorite by far... didn't think it was possible to mix those two styles of music!!? Hope to see/hear you back soon.
Your humbled listener, Eddie |

| Comments: | Mr. Sparks, I stand in awe and admiration of everything that you've done, especially with your Balkan musical explorations. I've played guitar for 18 years but never could find a way to make it sing the stari pesmi of my youth in Jugoslavija. I learned accordion, baglama saz, kaval, frula, etc ... anything and everything to bring me closer to this music that I love. Imagine my surprise when I learned that a North Cackalacky neighbor (I'm in VA) with a country blues background bridged that chasm and stayed true to the six-string, all at the same time. Thanks for everything. Hvala! Ziveli! |

| Comments: | Hi,
I heard from MelBay that the Neshamah book will not be released until Oct/Nov of 2003! Ouch! The entire music recording/publishing industry needs a swift kick in the pants. Is there any possibility of by-passing this sad excuse for a business and purchasing transcriptions from Neshamah individually like some of the other tunes you sell at this site? Even something scribbled on the back of some toilet paper would be better than nothing. I've the skeleton of a few of them worked out, I suppose I should try harder on some of the ones that I can't get a grip on but it'd certainly be better to learn them correctly the first time round. It's a fantastic album. Love your music,keep it coming! Paul |

When the band kicks in on Todos si Heuron I melt every time. And after the long tender intro to that tune... it is perfect. The second guitar by Marc was a great great idea and adds to the music as does the cello by Erik. The humor of Walking the Inlaws Home is great! I bet it was fun to record that one! Greg and Cyro are on this one too and provide a solid groove for Tim. Oh, and the John Zorn tune Mahshav is Tim at his best. Wow! I repeat... folks, get this CD! |

| Comments: | Eddie,
The majority of Tim's pieces are in standard tuning with a few in Dropped D tuning (6th string down to D). It is also important to remember that in most pieces the guitar is tuned one step down then capoed at the 2nd fret. See the FAQs page on this site for more information. Regards, Bruce |

You played my Olson today at Podium. It has never sounded so good. Thanks for the time you spent letting me listen to my beloved guitar. I know it wasn't your cup of tea but it was a real pleasure for me. |

| Comments: | I heard you several years ago in Woodstock, Il. at Muriel's
All-Star Guitar show. You were the standout for me that night. I bought your Nutcracker CD and I love it. I've been looking for you at the CAAS Convention since then. Hope you come again. |
