This is great. I really enjoyed hearing this, Ted. Considering the niche and provincialism of Be Bop, one of the key things that will keep their work alive is enthusiastic musicians tacking the song catalog. So, everyone interested in Bill and BBD should be grateful. Good licks, and good luck!

Thanks so much, John.

It was really great to hear this interview with Bill. At about 45 minutes of part 2, Bill speaks at length about a visual artist who he recalled as an occultist, working in surreal styles. Try though I might, I cannot understand the artist’s name as Bill voices it via the phone connection. Can someone who knows the name pass it along? Thanks so much.
