I posted the following tribute to Bill on Memorial Day 2011: HERE In that message, I referred to his leadership of a small group of musicians in the Glee Club. Recently I came across some old videos of one of our performances. The videos sat in my parents' attic in Texas for 25+ years exposed to heat and moisture so please forgive me for the poor quality! The first 40 seconds to 1 minute of each video is a still image with just audio from the concert introducing each song, but then once the performance starts the video begins to work. Bill is on the right side in the dark shirt. The first video listed is Brown Eyed Girl and that is the one where he would play his car keys as a tambourine (and always get a laugh) God bless Bill and all who have paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we have as Americans. Performances: Brown Eyed Girl Greenback Dollar Margaritaville |
