Many years ago in Norfolk, at a memorial concert for Alex Atterson, some friends and I were standing in a corner of the bar, improvising harmonies to John o' Dreams. Up comes this bloke I didn't know, and starts joining in. Cracking voice, I thought. Come the end of the song he smiled and said 'Thank you... I enjoyed that!'10 minutes later I found out that it was Bill himself. A true gentleman, and one who wore his talent lightly.
