Bio
Jennifer Curry
I have know Bill for almost 10 years now and have attended one of his presentations, collaborations at Clinton Community and was very impressed not only with his Musical talents but philosophy of life which he shared like a Zen Master. Bill has also share his musical compositions an I have created covers for his musical score booklets. What I found most appealing was his originality.
