    • Happy belated birthday to you, Bill. Hated to, but had to remove "Memphis" temporarily from the car these snowy/icy days, to stop my son from opening the sun roof to raise his and my hands again. Getting him to stop, otherwise, is not an option. Take care, jt

    • Hey Bill. I completed my set of Hard Rain CD's with Memphis at Xmas and I want to say thanks for another superb collection of songs. Hold on and I've made Peace Now are chillingly fabulous. I am hoping to make it out to Berlin later this year having failed to make it to Italy last year. I have got to see your band Live. Good luck to you all in 2012.

    • Bill –

      Just wanted to say THANKS for another awesome year of incredible music! “Memphis” is truly one of your greatest works – every time I think you’ve hit your peak (e.g., "Spirits, Chaos, and a Troubadour Soul") you blow us away with your latest effort!

      Your willingness to play “I’m Getting Closer” for the congregation at my first Mass earlier this year was so very special and moving – one of those moments in life that my family and I will always cherish! Also, I couldn’t hope for a better mentor for my son – musically and personally – you have had such a wonderful impact on him!

      Don’t ever doubt that your music, your words, your spirit, are touching lives and inspiring souls! Sure, it is always great to rock-out at Frankie & Georgie’s and you & Hard Rain deliver the goods in more ways than one. . .but your gifts go far beyond an entertaining night at the local club.

      In the words of Red Auerbach. . .“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Thanks for washing away the dust from our souls, Bill. Warm wishes for a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. During this season of “gift-giving” I am most grateful for the gift of your friendship and your music!

      I can’t wait for what you’ve got in store for 2012!

    • Was at your show at Lismore Pub, Faenza, Italy (Oct 16). Awesome! I have discovered a great band and seen a unique artist. Your latest CD is running rentlessly on my car stereo since then. Really hope you're gonna be back again next year. Thanks for a soul-touching nite. All the best.

    • Great show last night, Bill! Listened to Memphis on the way home this morning, just had to say it's awesome! Love the bluesy take on this one...Hope that you, Joyce, the kids and grandkids have a great Thanksgiving! I always look forward to kicking off the holidays at Cefalos!
