It was the British Invasion and a Saturday night radio broadcast that introduced Bill to his love of the guitar.

While playing on and off through his teens and twenties, it wasn’t until his early forties that he began to focus and study with jazz guitarist, Vincent Venezia . That marked the rebirth of his passion for playing music.

Prior to Thieves & Poets, Bill played with many people including Delusional Blues. They had the good fortune to play at the BB King Blues Festival at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ in September of 2000 and the Bandshell in Central Park in 2002.

Bill currently studies with jazz great Nat Janoff.
