If I'd only known how important video footage of Bill would be today, I'd invested in a good camera. Miss Bill. It is coming up on 5 years in March....Love his music.

Met Bill when I was working in radio in Maine circa 1980. He told me his story of walking away from an Atlantic recording contract because they wanted to put him in spandex. Shortly after I saw him play an outdoor show in a cow field in East Benton shortly after this album came out. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet him and experience his music.

One of the great great bands that never made the big time. I think I saw him as a back-up band in New Hampshire or Maine in the early 80's with the J. Geils Band. Only saw him play once but bought Dime Store Heroes the next day and still have it -- spinning right now. Great stuff!! Queen Of The Lower East Side still gives me chills. Sad to hear he his gone.

One of the great Jersey Rockers. Was the front man for the Downtown Tangiers Rockin Rhythm and Blues Band. They later got another front man after Bill left Jersey. His name was Bruce Springsteen. The band became the E Street Band. Tony smith is the drummer in this video, was the drummer for Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer live tour and teaches in Boston at Berkeley now. Jjohn K is the bassist and played with Cindy Lauper and David Bowie. Awesome players. His harp playing was straight from the gut
