Hey Minstrel/Stroke Pals....I just finished a new CD called "The Grape
Vine Twist", and as difficult as it is to blow my own horn, I wanted
to let you all know it is available. There are 19 instrumental tracks
on it with lots of percussion. I actually had it mastered and
replicated for maximum quality. There is a handsome painting on the
cover, done by a local artist in Michigan. It is on CD Baby and has
electronic distribution also, but I wanted to make it available to all
my friends here...the bargain price of $10.00 including shipping.
Check, Visa, or PayPal works great and we can run them through my
music store for a secure purchase. Hope you are able to provide some
support for our quirky little genre. These are all fresh tracks, and
go from Briggs' to the Converse Analytical. I was going to bring them
to AEBG III, but obviously this is not to be in 2008. (it might have
covered my gas).
Contact me for further info. Thanks!

I got my copy and I have to say that Tim has done an amazing job! I
greatly enjoyed his first CD, but this second one truly reflects a
musician who not only takes period music quite seriously, but also
interprets it with exemplary creativity and thoughtfulness.
I'm definitely a fan,

Holy Moley! I received my copy in the mail yesterday and finally got
to give it a listen whilst driving around doing lunchtime errands.
I'm with Greg, Tim's first effort was very good but this one blows the
roof off. If I had to gripe about the first CD, it was just a bit on
the tentative side. Here however, Tim is solid, confidant and
striding along with his head up and a spring in his step.
It helps that the recording level is up. The first CD was very quiet;
when it comes on the ipod, I have to boost the volume a good bit. Not
so "Grape Vine Twist". If I had to be picky, I would say something
about the too-loud bass drum. However, I just turn the bass EQ down a
bit and smile.
Another big plus is the arrangements/orchestration. When I heard the
train whistle effect and the chuff of the sand-blocks, I knew
"Railroad Polka" was coming thru...perfect! Like Bob W. says in the
notes, "Narraganset Jig" is the "hit single" from the CD.
Great work Tim, thank you for a great CD!!
