*THIS* is Bruno Tim.

   Um...

   What do I say?

   Oh...   the mike is on!?

   Oh.

   Hi.   My name is Tim.  "Bruno" is an honorific, awarded to those hardy
   souls who dance and play music in strange clothes.  (We perform
   everything from elizabethan to american civil war stuff, in period
   costumes.)

   On to the bragging!  :o)

   I'm pretty much self educated,  but have managed to publish in several
   magazines, not to mention producing one CD...  the second one is
   recorded,  in post production.

   I play (not in any particular order)  guitar, banjo, saz, oudh,
   mandolin, mandola, cittern, violin, viola, drums, concertina, bass,
   flageolet, trombone, piano, quatro, tambura, balalaika, recorder...
   aw,   there's others but  I forget what they are.  Suffice to say that
   I'm a musician.

   I do okay for a guy who never finished the eleventh grade.

   I'm happy to lem whoever seems to know a subject....  if the subject
   is ever early music or copyright law,  *I* might be worth lemming!  :)

   Truth is stranger than fiction:  I actually do music for a living!
   Isn't that odd?  In collaboration with my brothers,  I'm working on
   compositions geared for high school and college bands.   (There *is*
   work in music beyond Eminem and Nsync, you know.)  We expect to have a
   publishable book of original compositions in about eighteen months.

   Don't *ever* lem me about music questions that have to do with music
   recorded after 1952 or so.  I know jazz...   but rock isn't my bag.  I
   leave that to wiser heads than mine.

   Um...  I can't think of anything else to say.  I like to cook.  I've
   been married for 21 years.  My wife is the best person in the
   universe.  I like beets.  I do not eat chocolate.  If I was a state,
   my yearbook would have called me 'most likely to secede.'  I have a
   tendency to run on.

   Oh yeah...  if you want to check out some of my compositions,  click
   on my sig.

   Cheers,



   Tim
