Bio
I'm a musician. I play vibes/piano/drums and compose lots of music. .... ...... .. .. .. .. .. ............................ .... .............. .... "Tim Collins sorgt mit seinen harmonisch dichten Begleitungen auf dem Vibraphon fuer eine fluechtige, manchmal weltenftrueckte Poesie".. -- Sueddeutschen Zeitung.... "Collins' vibraphone style, which is pleasant, mature and full bodied, is nonetheless the least important thing on his agenda. His sextet plays with a rare degree of empathy in songs that run the gamut stylistically, but with a successful focus on cohesive teamwork, that is nothing less than exemplary.".. -- DOWNBEAT Magazine.... "The vibraphone is one instrument that has yet to make the transition to pop music...Tim Collins could be one to break that barrier. The guy can shred.".. -- JAZZTIMES Magazine.... "Collins is an exciting player who chooses only to flash his energy in certain spots…those moments are what makes this…impressive disc worthwhile.".. -- All Music Guide.. -

HONORING ALL WHO HAVE SERVED Tim!
"JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT VETERAN'S DAY ...
"The SUMMER SOLDIER and the SUNSHINE PATRIOT will,
in this crisis, SHRINK from the service of their country;
but he that STANDS BY IT NOW, deserves the LOVE
and THANKS of man and woman. TYRANNY, like HELL
is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us,
that the HARDER THE CONFLICT, the MORE GLORIOUS
THE TRIUMPH. What we OBTAIN TOO CHEAP,
we ESTEEM TOO LIGHTLY: it is dearness only that gives
every thing its value."
~ Thomas Paine, December 23, 1776
GOD BLESS OUR BRAVE VETERANS! THEY KNOW,
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE, THAT FREEDOM IS
NEVER FREE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

Be a WINNER Tim!
The Nobel Prize Medal
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WINNING ...

THAT REFUSES TO STOP FIGHTING!
