  • This is how I always remember Bill:you never,ever forget good friends and those who touched your life in a way that was so rare.Bill and his crying guitar;I think more than the guitar cried.

    This is beautiful Lorraine.

  • Lorraine:I know that this track means a lot:and I remember first hearing it and the tears fell;I will never forget this unique man who was so gentle and shy..it was his music that spoke volumes about Bill and the way he loved to play:and this is emotional beyond words.You never forget good friends;and at this time I hope you know that your friends are thinking of you.Beautiful,beautiful playing.Thanks.

  • @tukspeacepipes I know what you are thinking when you listen to Crying Guitar and you also know what goes through my mind Bill put so much heart in everything is was doing he touch so many people It was the last video he posted now when I think back I really think he knew something was'nt right with his health at that time. Hugs.

    LorraineG.

  • I know and it's very sad.I watch Bill here and think of the first time I heard it:I think it's this track that will always be very special for all that means and how he's smiling at the end.We're thinking of you:pop round any time.

    I always used to say to Bill:Come over,come over so we can see you and Lorraine live.He said he would never leave his little piece of heaven:and he didn't.G-d bless lovely Lorraine.
