States Tim, "From the first time 'classical' music began emerging from my banjo, I had heard the parallel orchestral accompaniment in my head. Those imaginings became a reality when I had the opportunity to record my compositions with the 83-piece Prague Metropolitan Orchestra at SONOS Records in the Czech Republic!
My heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed to make this dream come true."
