Since my dad died in October, I've been working on an album of songs for him.
These are songs we sang together, cried or laughed over— and sometimes lived right through.
This "record" is my memorial present to everyone who knew Bill and loved him, and whom he loved so much. Your support has meant the world to me the last few months.
You know the extraordinary ear and voice Bill had for music and poetry— in every language. I could have made a ten-volume set, but it was more like composing one of his haikus!
I've made one long mp3 file, that you can listen to here. It's about 75 minutes long— and below, are the individual songs and artists that make it up.
