    It is a great honor to be Tim's inaugural customer on this platform. I discovered what others on this site will soon know too - Tim is an OUTSTANDING professional. Piano, Organ, Synth...you name it. Tim is a virtuoso-level talent with a discerning musical ear to remain attentive to what the song needs. I could not recommend him more highly. I will be back!
