Bill was born in Charleston, SC in 1941 – on Hanover St., between Cooper St. and Lee St. He is one of this city’s musical torchbearers – still playing and singing every week, well into the afterparty hours. His energy and fearlessness on stage is unparalleled, and fellow musicians and fans half-a-century younger watch in awe as he packs up his horn and heads on to the next show.
