Site Update 10.05.08
I have posted complete audio files of Timmy’s two most recent songs, “Shot by a Lover” and “Bible by the Bed,” for your listening pleasure. You can find the two songs in the Media>Music section. Enjoy! I sure am.
Welcome to UTF
Ultimate Timmy Fanz (UTF) is the "unofficial" online home of musician Timmy Cappello. Many of you may know him best as the dynamic persona who performed in the band for legendary rock diva Tina Turner, but here you will find out about the man behind the music and the eye catching stage performances.
UTF has prided itself on being the very first fan dedication to Timmy as well as your best source on this musical phenom. If you have always wanted to know more about the man who always had the smooth moves on stage, then you have found what you are looking for right here.
It has been my goal with UTF to provide a place for all of Timmy's fans to visit and find out more about this sensational performer and musician. Please feel free to browse around and explore.

Site Update 03.29.08
UTF version 5 launches! At last, at last, at last! I’m sure some of you are saying, “It’s about time.” Trust me, I am too; I was just as sick of the old layout as some of you. I slaved, I kept my nose to the grind, and I worked my entire Easter vacation to get this done; however, I think you’ll find that it was well worth it. I would have been ready to launch sooner had the web site outages halted the backend work I needed to complete, but unfortunately, no one can predict when server issues occur.
Because my web host is still experiencing some problems, it’s possible that UTFv5 is a little slow to respond when you initially click on a link or page. Slower responses in page load will also occur because I’m precompiling everything upon initial load. I know I’m speaking a bit geek now, but that essentially means the site is loading the page contents upfront before it displays in your web browser. When you revisit that page (once it loaded the first time), it will display pretty fast because it was preloaded and cached (stored). Continue Reading »

If you’re subscribed to Reverb, you may need to update the old RSS feed with a new RSS feed. I made some changes, and it’s possible you will need to update the feed for this blog if you no longer receive updates via your favorite RSS reader.
Site Update 03.27.08
Web Site Outages
If you’ve tried to visit the Reverb or even UTF for that matter, you probably encountered some “file not found” pages in addition to a sluggish (slow) site and other issues. I apologize for that. My host was having some major issues, and my site, along with hundreds (if not thousands) of other customers got knocked off line. The issue seems to be resolved for the most part; however, my host is still having issues. I can’t guarantee that Reverb or UTF won’t go back out again. Paying for true 99% uptime is a bit more expensive.
UTF Version 5
Prior to the outages, I was able to make a large amount of progress on UTF version 5. The site is 98% complete. I would have been closer to finishing and launching sooner, but I’m nearly three days behind schedule thanks to intermittent site outages. I still have some backend work to complete, but UTF v5 will launch really soon. Timmy has seen the new site and thinks it’s great. Everyone else will soon see that it’s a vast improvement over the current version of the site. Stay tuned to Reverb to find out when the new site (and very much improved) launches.
