Languages and people groups absolutely fascinate me. Even though English is my 1st language, I still have a passable use of French and Yiddish. I regularly perform songs in French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew, Yiddish, English and more recently Japanese...
aaaaa aaaaa aaaaa All of the wonderful people who have enriched my life - sadly when you travel around the globe it is all too easy to lose touch with very special people.I'd like to meet Steven Spielberg. His creative, tenacious and generous spirit is a giant inspiration to us all.I'd also like to meet my cat's former owners. Gemma (a.k.a. 'Johnson', 'The Black Thing', or 'It's Back') remains defiantly tight-lipped about that entire former chapter of her life, despite the coaxing I've done with the very cheapest dried cat-food!!! ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
I am so very proud of the wonderful ensemble of performers and crew in my own Band 'THE TIM LYNK BAND'. I just have to mention them right at the very start - you guys make such an awesome winning team, keeping it tight, filling the dance floor and keeping it pumping whilst 'WOWING' our audiences wherever we go. No wonder we have such a great name. Let's keep up the good work and continue taking our fun seriously for many more years to come. It really is an enormous business doing pleasure with you!!!!!!

The Torah and Lord Of The Rings - only one of these books is complete truth and perfection in every hidden dimension, whilst the other is merely a jaw-dropping and amazing human work of inspirational fiction.
The 6 million souls, whose sweet and innocent lives were stolen from us by those who asserted their insane love for death and hatred - may their memories be blessed, and may we all become wiser and more compassionate from the merit of their bitter legacy. Anyone who shows true kindness and compassion when there is no gain for themselves is also to me a hero. Fortunately I am blessed to have people of this calibre in my own life. ..
