I took drum lessons from Bill as a young man and he was a very colorful man.There is much more good music in the world due to his teaching of musicians. He made every lesson a joyous occasion.
Peace, love and light to his family and friends in this difficult time.
Sincerely, Timothy Smith

So sorry to hear about Billy, I remember him from when I took accordian lessons from his dad, and from high school. He lived life like his father to the fullest, and was a talented musician and showman. My condolences to his family, and he will be truly missed by all who came to know him.
