thought i'd share this with you...about 6 years ago the martini kings were headed to a private party in one of the beach towns, maybe manhattan, i can't recall for sure,
i was early for my gig and had a good hour to kill so i thought i would get a lil bite to kill time. i walk into a health food store (not my favorite food) and noticed they had a counter in the back and some tables.
i ordered some grub and noticed a two fellows setting up to play some music.
when the music started i almost choked on my sprouts! here was BILL playing his ukulele incredibly and singing songs to about 10 people. i feel like an idiot for not knowing about bill that night.i know everything about him now. when i left the restaurant i told everyone i had just stumbled across a true goldmine. incredible uke and vocal songs that left me speechless.what a treat to see such a great talented guy!!! happy birthday bill and hope you live till your 202.
