What sad news! Bill was such a generous guy, down to earth and of course a leading
songwriter.

My fond memories of him are when we were on the Lewis R. French together. We sang
and ate well.

While in Penobscot Bay, a message came in from Gordon Bok who was also on the
water that day. Bill was teaching a yodeling class. He was a great yodeler.

We sounded like students of yodeling you'd expect to sound.

Gordon said, "Bill, what are you doing to those people?"

We were tied up with another boat on that trip and we gave a concert. I had a funky
old banjo at that time. It was a memorable evening on the water.

Bill will be missed! His legacy will continue through his wonderful songs.

He graced the "me and thee" coffeehouse in Marblehead for many a year.
