Just downloaded his new release called "No Place Left To Fall".

Great new music from a veteran musician. I highly recommend it.

Just thought I'd get the word out.

Just wanted to bump this up in hopes some will go to i-tunes and check this new release out.

Really good CD. He sounds as good as he did over 30 years ago.

There. I'm done promoting. (Ha)

Bill is amazing. I play guitar for his son, Will, who is pretty dang talented himself.

EDIT: for all you Nashville members, we're actually playing a club show tomorrow night. Let me know if you're interested in coming out.

I was a huge Chicago fan (not so much anymore), but Bill is a huge influence. He is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet too, was very gracious with me.
I just found and downloaded "RunAway" from his 80's pre-chi days. Alot of the Toto guys on that record. I'm sure the new record smokes. His wife (Tamara?) was quite the session singer if memory serves. He can tear a B-3 up!

Back in the early 70's, The Sons of Champlin were huge with the gang I hung out with. "Follow Your Heart" is still one of my favorite albums.

Thanks for the heads up on the new recording Gasman. Bill is simply awesome. I started hearing him on Rit's records in the late 70's. Runaway is one of my favorite records. I did a digital transfer from vinyl about 6 years ago that I still have in regular rotation.
