Sadly, during many of his 40 years as a musician, he lived the life he sang about: drinking whiskey, smoking dope, of beer joints, fast livin’ and runnin’ from the law. He was a dead man walking. Till one day the pain and loneliness nearly took his life.
Though he had given up on everything, someone had not given up on him…. And that was Jesus Christ….
Bill has turned his will and his life over to the care of God Almighty and he now sings a new song with a new heart..
Bill is an ordained music minister and has dedicated his talents to serving God.
