BILL MORRISSEY

I still miss our goofy musical moments Morrissey.

Moved to Newmarket, NH in 1976. First heard and fell in love with his poetry/music when he performed at the illustrious Stone Church. Bill was a good friend of Ed Gerhardt, another talented musician...and I was lucky to be in their presence when they did some gigs together. Bill was a special poet and song writer. I listen to him often.

We saw Bill perform at the Homer NY Center for the Arts in a November a few years before his passing. There was a refreshment gathering just before the show began and Bill was standing next to me...so I said to Bill..."Do you think Bill could play She's That Kind of Mystery tonight?" He said..." Tell you what ...let Me go back and ask him" After 5 or 6 numbers Bill told the audience "that there was a special request for this next song" He went on to play "Mystery" I never got to thank...

I still play his many wonderful albums.

I don't know of another singer/song writer who captured blue color New England as eloquently as Mr. Morrissey did. Glad to have the amazing music he left behind.

Eleven years you’ve been gone. I miss your smile. Think of you every day. So proud of you.
