I think Tim could have been more confident in his own opinions – one doesn’t always have to say what people “out there” thought of it.

Good point. As you also noted, his personal thoughts on scores added a true flavor for what I would think would be the primary targeted audience—us. That includes other composers. It is something we’ve done in our own little hobbyist way. And as to photos: tell me you didn’t get a kick out of 12-year-old Johnny’s face on diploma day. Cute kid. But then the photo of I believe John’s oldest son is astonishing. They are dead ringers! It’s like in movies when the same actor plays his father or grandfather.
