Tim is a member of GAL - Guild of American Luthiers ( http://www.luth.org ) His dog Digger has a keen ear for good music. Tim loves what he does, working on the full gamut of stringed instruments from stand up Bass to electric guitars, violins, mandolins, banjos and just about any other type of instrument that requires the first class materials, extreme attention to detail and quality workmanship that Tim provides. Tim started playing guitar at age 10 and spent his time on the road playing guitar with a variety of bands from 1969 to 1985. He still gets together with his old Big Band, the Southern Stardust in Calgary, http://www.southernstardust.ca/ and enjoys playing with local musicians with a musical taste that runs from George Jones and Merl Haggard to Count Basie and Duke Ellington with all the best rock in between. The bar scene and the hard life of the road are memories now for this proud grandpa. His true enjoyment these days is playing on his own hand made dobro, his pride and joy, that took a year and a half of precious weekend time to make.
