I find it interesting and rewarding to let my imagination wander through the memory and spirit of life events and see where it takes me.\\u201d\\n\\nBill is a pure "lyrics-first" writer...a bit of a storyteller. \\u201cI feel the story and lyrics talk to me and tell me what the rest of the song is supposed to sound like,\\u201d he says.\\n\\nHis last album, 2017\\u2019s \\u201cFind A Way\\u201d reached #5 on the Roots Music Report Traditional Folk Album chart, and the single, \\u201cGoodbye Will Never Come Again\\u201d reached #1 on the singles chart.\\n\\nBill\\u2019s latest collection of songs, \\u201cCrossing Willow Creek\\u201d is available now, with first single, \\u201cCry Wolf\\u201d hitting radio airwaves around the globe.\\n\\n\\u201cSometimes life is good to you and gives you a second chance.
