I just posted on FaceBook (pasted below): But wanted to say thank you for telling your story--and the stories of so many artists--here. You exemplify both virtuosity and generosity. You and your music have always touched my soul. I know some of the story and the reasons why you turned your attention in directions other than the recording studio and the stage. I still want to say with all my heart: Sing, Tim!!!!!
"Love this album! Love you! I am trying to figure out digital purchasing. Will persist. Right now I want to offer my memories. You sent me this album before we met. As soon as I heard your voice, something in me said "I remember!" When we met in Harlem not long after that, your first face to face words to me were "I remember!" So began--or resumed--a deep soul friendship that will last for all our lives. Thank you, dear combrogo. We love you forever!"
Thank you Tim for sharing about your musical journey. So much of what you referenced is a reminder (as if you and I needed one!) of how we are truly kindred spirits! While our respective pathways into singing, songwriting, recording and performing may have been different, the passion and joy that fuelled your ‘against all odds’ pursuit of expressing your innate creativity mirrors my own in many ways. The authenticity and realness in your music as evidenced in the 20th anniversary edition of your debut album continues to resonate throughout your work as a stellar author, writer and historian. Please put creating new music on your bucket list for 2024! With deep appreciation always!
"The Day You Held Me" is a beauty-- so great to hear your voice. A great piece of writing and beautiful performance!
Eric! A true honor, especially coming from you. Thank you for listening!
