Dear Friend. I am nobody from calgary, this is my wifes account. I just fluked here is what I'm sayin. I knew Billy and that is for sure his old car, I helped him load it once. I am personaly touched by what you have done here brother. I idolized the guy and his talent and his strength in recovery. He would truly love this I'm sure. I hope and pray you find your way ..all the way home...he gave me something personal that I treasure, he would want that ring to be a symbol hope..peace and thanks

A beautiful video and a wonderful tribute to the great Billy Cowsill.

Beautiful, just beautiful. I miss my friend Billy and go "looking" for him every now and then. I'm sure he would love this - it's got a bit of a Hank Williams Cadillac feel to it... Billy's Dodge Dart.

Love it!

(continued) It had power steering that you could turn with your pinky- No brake booster so you had to really step on em. Bill,del, and I loved that car, DeI and I would like to know what happened to it. I half expect to see it out on Kijiji or find it restored to its uncle bill condition somewhere and if that were the case Id be happy. I have fond memories of the house and the car and owe bill a debt of gratitude as he helped salvage me from the dumps as well while he was alive and beyond.

Sometime during the time that this film was made I took that car for a drive- I had the title and a letter from del(bill's son) to state that the car was mine. I went to talk to the woman who did bill's insurance, mostly because she did'nt want to she wouldnt help me. I got it running, drove it round the block- she(Blue) wouldnt shift into third- so I parked it in its respective spot- and some time later it disappeared. People always ask me about it- I say it died with bill. really cool car.

This is an incredible version of the song "Creep" by Radiohead. It sounds different from their accoustic version - could anyone tell me who sings this version used here on this video? It's great! The video too, is stunning - really moving.

Wow.. I am very moved by this. From beyond the grave, Billy Cowsill continues to work his magic. What a sweet soul.

Thanks for sharing. Treasure the ring and do something nice for someone else. I think Billy would really love that.
