| 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 |

| Comments: | Tim,
Just wanted to thank you for the great music. My fiance bought "At the Rebbe's Table" about 2 weeks ago, and I have listened to it every day since. What a powerful album. I'm amazed by your talent! Thanks for a great show at NYC's Center for Jewish History last night-- we were blown away. Take Care, Rene |

| Comments: | Tim: I am getting caught in a trap trying to buy several copies of "One String Leads to Another" through the links on your web site - neither CD Now nor Elderly Instruments has it listed. I love the disc, want to share it with family as holiday gifts. Any other ideas? Hope your current tour is going well, and hope you'll be back in New Mexico soon. Dwight & Gwenn |

| Comments: | Hey Uncle Tim,
Just found your website--guess I am a little slow. I've been playing Tanz & One String in my office--people who stop by always ask who's playing. Dad's got the Rebbe CD, so I will have to get it from him. Take care and tell Cheryl hello--maybe we'll see you in Sept. Tara |

| Comments: | WOW! Tim you really are my favourite guitar player. I'm a guitar major still in school (and a student of mike williams, you know him right). Anyhoo, i played blues on Bartok st. for one of my recitals and i've ever since been trying to get my hands on the whole music book for balkhan dreams suite but it's out of print now. do you or anyone else know of a way to get that book. thanks a lot.
Tim, keep creating. we need more players with your compositional calibur. cheers, mark. |

| Comments: | I just got At the Rebbe's Table hot off the presses and folks, get this CD! Personal favorites already are Beautiful City, La Serena, The Keys of Spain, and Todos si Heuron. 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: | hey Tim,
It's been a real privlage to come along side you in the past as a student, you have sincerly taught me more about the guitar, and the spirit it preserves in the last few years than anyone could have. I know I speak on the behalf of more than one when I say that you are a true inspiration to young guitar players, and although we will never sound like you, your music is deep in our hearts. Nick Eberhardt, (loyal student, and fan) |

| Comments: | Tim, I think you should record another CD with a violin player and maybe a percussionist added there too like you did on some songs on your first two CDs.
Keep up the good work and all the lovely, lovely music you give to us. |

| Comments: | The Neshamah book is at the publishers (Mel Bay) and is slated to be released in June or July 2002 before the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society festival. Apparently Mel Bay publishes a number of titles for release at that time. It will include all songs from the CD.
Tim will be heading to New York this month to record another CD of Jewish music for Tzadik. |

People are still talking about your concert in Charlotte, NC last March. Any time you're on the road again, you've got a place here to play. And thanks for the tip on Franco Marone. We booked him for January. |

| Comments: | thanks! i can't wait for the neshamah book to come out. the

| 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 |
