 Steve Sarandos, Billy & Sharon

 Tim Hall and Billy

Back in the Hometown Blues Band days ( late 60's), Tim was a drummer in several great bands including Foghorn Leghorn with Robert Cray and Jho Blenis. Tim was a great drummer but became an equally or greater guitar slinger. His band (The Tim Hall Band) has probably played more frequently and in more Northwest venues than just about any band in the area.

Nicole Fournier and Billy at Winthrop R&B Festival 2007

Nicole has been recognized by people like Kieth Richards and John Lee Hooker as one of the "ballsiest" guitar players  male or female. I had the pleasure of playing her 2007 festival circuit with her and a bunch of club gigs. What a gas!! She just plain kicks ass full time!
