TSSK – TSSK: AN ISLAND “WOODWIND” QUARTET 

TSSK stands for Tim Cooper, his wife Susan Bleakney, Sheila Forsyth and Kim Knight-Picketts. We could have been called Carpool, because that’s how we met, driving into Charlottetown for Second Chances band and Coro Dolce (yes we all sing too).  We could have been called Docs+ as well, as two of us have PhDs, and one a DVM. We realized we had the bones for a woodwind quartet, with Tim on sax (often playing oboe parts), Susan on flute, Sheila on clarinet, and Kim on bass (doing the bassoon parts), and started up the group.  It kept us sane through Covid (our musical pod), and is one of the highlights of our week.  All of us have been involved with music for years.  Tim is a retired music professor (UNB), and the rest of us have been playing our instruments since childhood.  We play a very eclectic mix of music ranging from classical, pop, movie themes, folk, and jazz, and more.
