Bill Taylor - The Mighty Wurlitzer Organ - Stanford Theater, Palo Alto, California, May 2009

From www.stanfordtheater.org - Bill Taylor has appeared regularly at the Stanford Theatre since its reopening in 1989. He began playing the organ at age 7, and played his first theatre pipe organ when he was 11. He studied theatre organ with famed San Francisco area organist, Larry Vannucci who, many years later, also played at the Stanford Theatre.

While they were still in high school, Bill and his brother Dick restored and installed a Wurlitzer pipe organ in the Encore (formerly Broadway) Theatre in Burlingame, and Bill played the organ for intermissions. He has also appeared at several other Bay Area theatres.

He has a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley. His primary career is as a Software Development Engineer at Network Appliance in Sunnyvale.

Bill is married with three children, and lives in San Jose.
