Notes from Bill
The picture on the cover is really me (Bill) and my brother (Bruce) in the early 1950's. What's amazing about this picture to me, is that I never would have thought that 15 years (or so) later, Bruce and I would be in the music business. I didn't even know what the music business was! Especially Hollywood!
The significance of the picture explains itself in the years that followed. Bruce was my accompanist as a soloist (never anyone better) and my first mentor as a composer/arranger. I got interested in that particular aspect of music when I was about 17. Up until then, it was sports, girls, trombone and more trombone.
More than all the above, Bruce is the most brillian man and most gifted composer I have ever known. He is my older brother (by 17 months), and to this day is my closest ally, encourager and friend. We don't always have to talk or be with each other but, in my heart of hearts, I know that when the chips are down or I'm feeling my lowest, I'm going to get a phone call and some encouragement packaged with a mutual love and respect. He's my biggest fan as I am his. Go figure!
The pieces on this album are but a small amount of the thousands of pages that have been written over the years, thanks to the beginning encouragement of my brother. I am amazed at the whole process and have never tired at the first listening or reading of a piece. It's an awesome experience, and though I have worked hard through the years to hone this wonderful gift, I have always thought that I am only the butler who opens the door -- the createe -- not the Creator.
Hope you enjoy!
