About ten years ago I was writing my Clive Palmer biography "Empty Pocket Blues" and it was arranged for Billy to ring me for a phone interview. He rang me from Malta and was on the phone for over an hour (he paid) He never swore once thugh he does say "you knooow" a lot. His recall was amazing and he seemed to greatly enjoy talking about seeing the Incredible String band in Glasgow in 65/66. He never repeated himself once, and when I transcribed the interview there were large parts I did nor even have to edit, he is such a great storyteller.
