Had the distinct pleasure of playing with Bill many moons ago. Great singer, great guitarist--made it look effortless. And a world class great guy (and funny too!)

I didn't know Bill well, but well enough to know he was an amazing man. He did so much helping out at the Rock U concerts Hix Bros put on, playing bass when we didn't have enough students. His musical creations surpass anything I could ever imagine to make myself. I think he even did some repairs on my guitars. Overall, Bill was a great man and he will be missed.
