“Quotables”

The late Don Rickles – yes, the Don Rickles – upon hearing Tzimmes at the River Rock Casino (November 6, 2005), had this to say:
“I love your music, it’s wonderful. You should come to Vegas – but they probably wouldn’t know what to make of you!”

-----

"All of Tzimmes’ music was amazing, but we are especially thankful for how your band led the Hora! It would not have been the same without your hora expertise!"
- Rebecca Shalansky and Evan Gropper, August 2023
