Hi Tim

,
I am sure that you will not remember me, however, when I saw this site I just had to say hi. I wanted to personally thank you again for the kindness you showed my 2 grandchildren at the benefit at St. Anne's Church in Woonsocket, Rhode Island I believe last fall.( time certainly flies) You signed my 9 year old grandson, Corey's, drum sticks that I purchased. You took the time to show him how to drum and told him if he practiced every day he would someday play like you. Well, need I say he does not do it every day but he tries from time to time.I was wondering if you and Tony were going to be coming to the Rhode Island area next year. Megan and Corey, now 6 and 10 were watching the Gosh Groban DVD this evening with me as I was baby-sitting them. Out of the blue Corey said to me,"Gram, when are you going to take us to see Tony and Tim again?" This question, need I say, prompted me to write to you. Thank you for reading this in advance. Hopefully the kids and I will hear back from you. Tell Tony we all said Hi!

Hi, My name is CHRISTINAAAAAA [i remembered to hold out the ahhhhhh hahaha]....you probably don't remember me but, i'm from St. Michel's Church in Needville TX...I want to say thank you for coming down and performing for my church. I really felt like i could leave my doubts and worries at the door and really feel your music. I bought your CD and may i say your great. If only are percussionists can be half as talented as you are our band would be great. I play the bass clarinet so i love making music as it is, but i never really got into the whole CHRISTIAN ROCK THING.....but you have changed my mind....our god is a great god and thanks to the TOE JAM's performance i really can see the blessings that were infront of me the whole time...I'm a Sr. in high school and will be going off to college soon to get my Bach. in Science and RN. I want to help people...especially children, my goal is to be a surgical nurse at John Sealy Hospital or Texas Children's Hospital....I make good grades and many tell me how easy its gonna be for me... but I never really BELIEVED in myself....i push myself a little too hard. I always made excuses for not trusting in anyone [especially men and god] because my dad WAS really mean and told me things to make me cry including that he thought I was going to be a LOSER....well thanks to prayer god touched him and even though he missed out on my Freshmen , sophomore , and junior yrs...he has mad a point to make his presence known this yr.....so has god...iv noticed him more and more with everyday and thanks to you and your music i've really opened up to it.

Tim , We wanted to thank you. My young daughter Valerie has done nothing but bragged to her other four brothers and sisters about her experience she had in meeting you after the St Phillips (Bakersfield) concert. This was her first concert she has attended and the glow on her face going home was worth it. God bless you and thanks again. The Michaels family

Dear Tim, I had tears in my eyes when I read your webb site. The pictures are great. You did a wonderful job. May the Lord bless you in your work. It was such a privilege to sing with you in Branson. To find a real genuine brother in Christ. I thank God for allowing you to be part of our family. You are family you know! Remember -- keep your eyes upon Jesus. Love from David, Cheryll and Davin

God bless you Tim. You are a credit to the business and it is a pleasure knowing such a great God loving and talented Christian Entertainer. I hope and pray that God does more great things in your life.

I have the awesome priviledge and honor of working with Tim Pope on an almost daily basis as part of the Tony Melendez Show in Branson, Mo. Prior to that I had the priviledge of meeting and working with Tim when he was associated with Tony Orlando. Tim Pope is, by far, the very best drummer in the world! The man is incredibly talented with rhythms in his head others have never even thought of! Each drum solo is another extension of himself and his commitment to the Lord, to music and to entertainment. You will NEVER find anyone better at what he does than Timothy "Big Sticks" Pope! No...he did NOT pay me to say this! I offer it as the absolute truth straight from my heart! Judy Hartley

I think you are an awesome drummer and I hope you guys come back to my school - PHS. Thanks!!!

You recently came to my school (mount saint charles). I got your autograph and tOny Melendez also, and I think you guys are great. I love your drumming skills and Tony's guitar skills are amazing. I hope you come again. this was the school: Mount Saint Charles Academy - Woonsocket,Rhode Island. THANK YOU!!!

You met me the concert at "St. Mary's Ryken School" on 1/25/02 I would like to say thank you for the short practice and visiting St. Mary's. You and the Toe Jammers are a great band. Me and my friends liked how you play The drums. Hopefully, if I keep on practicing I'll get as good as you. I just came home from the concert and I practiced the 6-beat thing were you tap the left side on the 1st beat and then you tap the right side on the 4th beat. Also the paradiddle and the 9-stroke roll.We hope you come back soon and I will show you that I can do the 6-beat thing, the paradiddle, and the 9-stroke rool.

Just had the wonderful opportunity to see you last night at St.Lukes in Palm Harbor. Was a really great show! Will be more than willing to come see you and Tony and the others anytime, am in the area where you are! God Bless you all with good health and continued success!

Hi Tim, Caught your show with Tony at St Paul's Church in St. Pete. It was stupendous!!!!! More than we could ever have imagined. And we were all struck with your obvious love of the Lord, and wanting to spread His Word. Many blessings from all of us. Love in Christ, Alice

We attended the Tony Melendez concert at Cardinal Dougherty High School. It was truly inspiring and moving. You have an amazing gift from God. Keep on "toejammin'" and sharing the Spirit! Thanks!

Hi Tim and Tammy: I met you at the Live2BHoly fest, I was one of the Daughters of God and ended up buying 2 sets of sticks for my drummers...I gave one out to one of them already and he knew all about you...I know ya hear this all the time, but It made me laugh out loud as I watched you play... of joy to see the talent running out of your veins that God has given you and to have you give it back to Him is doubly good. Thank you for playing, it was a treat and a half...they told me to watch! thank God I coudn't get a ride back to the hotel to bathe, thank God I saw the wonders he can do through the saints amongst us...you are going to be in the band from Heaven that is for sure... Great to meet you and your wife, Hi Tammy again, I can still see you smile even though you left 5 jobs. I can see you are happy with what you do and I am sure glad you were there to speak to me that day. God Bless You both.

Thanks for coming to the Fullness of Truth Conference in San Antonio, TX. The performance was first class and we can't wait to see you guys again. My family and I are really enjoying the CD as well. Make another!!! Thanks for the work that you do.

I have a love for the drums and was thrilled to see you play along with Tony Melendez in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in August 2006. You're style was unlike anything I've ever seen, and to mix it all up by playing the bass on the keyboard at the same time blew me away.
