Hi guys! You "viewcart button" on the top CD takes you directly to Pay Pal instead of to the cart. I had to go back and added to cart again and update the order and then go to secure payment to get the payment through to you. Other than that, the site looks good. Love, Steff
"Hi!!" from Tina, Tam, Tu, and Lisa. You gals look great!
Looks great! Greg Andrego

I was at the concert at Kent State University Stark campus last night, and the music I heard was absolutely beautiful. You ladies and the Kosovo Men's Choir were absolutely wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to come down. It was great.
You girls are great..I am a Micky fan!! May Reminder
Dear Sarena, I saw your little blurb in the Srbobran and checked out your site. Wow, what a pleasure. Your picture section is especially nice. It was nice to see all the AZ Trivanovich's as well. It looked like the Extravaganza was a blast. If it wasn't so difficult for me to get around I would never miss any of these functions. Your CD with the choir is also a wonderful accomplishment! It was mutually nice for both groups to hang out with good musicians. Kudos to all of you! Kindest personal regards, Mark Marusich

Hello, Searching resources about tamburitza I find your really nice site; before we came to Canada our son played tamburitza - prim for two years and he really enjoy playing ; we didn't bring instrument with us ( and regret it) because we know that here there will no be a teacher for him.We came from Vojvodina (Serbia) and our prim was used by famous Janika Balas ( according to previous owner), and these days our parents send it to us. We found at the Sobers Music School that they have teacher for mandolin and I would like to here you opinion - could he teach him on the prim ? Is there any similarity in between those instruments? How we should tune the prim? Is there anyone in Canada like you? Thank you very much, Ljiljana Stajic

Just a quick note to you guys. I just this AM discovered that you were around. I remember enjoying the music performed not only by the Trivanovich Sisters but by their brothers as well when I was growing up in Aliquippa,PA. I and my Aunt Zorka Dmitrovich,also of Aliquippa, were saddened by the news that the sisters band had broken up and the reason. I am ecstatic to see that you revived again and will be purchasing your albums in the future. I too had been a tamburasi playing with the Mladi Becari of Aliquippa, (which consisted of the Godich brothers Mike and George, Bob Susnjer and myself) as well as the St. Elijah Tamburitzans and the Ambridge Jr. Tammies. I truly have missed the joy of performing these many years since then. My wife and I have been residing in Clarksville,TN since I was stationed at Fort Campbell,KY in 1981. Needless to say there are not many tamburasi, that I know of, living in Middle Tennessee. I still have my Brac though but am very, very much out of practice. I wish you all the best and hope some day to see you perform live. Until then Ziveli Tamburasi! David Bjelic
