"Tim's style of song leading. From the invitation to enter a "perfection-free" space of adding sound and voice together, to the freedom of breaking off into whatever part resonates most with one's voice (or the practice of listening, as he says, is part of singing), we were invited into a large, wide, welcome tent of song." -Luke Stevens-Royer UU Rochester
“Then the singing enveloped me. It was furry and resonant, coming from everyone's very heart. There was no sense of performance or judgment, only that the music was breath and food.” ― Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies
