In the late 1970’s Bill, discouraged by a poorly attended recital in London, sold his banjo having decided to devote his retirement years to his first musical love, the piano. Following the death of his wife in 1989 he was persuaded to accompany banjo historian and former BMG editor and and columnist, ‘Mac’ McNaughten to the 1990 American Banjo Fraternity Autumn Rally in Gettysburg. He was enthusiastically received and his banjo recital earning much praise.
The warmth of his reception in America rekindled Bill’s interest in the banjo and on his return to England he purchased a Clifford Essex Wood Hoop Special. It was as if he had never been away. He was soon entertaining his many friends and fellow banjo enthusiasts as before, playing in a number of Banjo Rallies to enthusiastic audiences. “It’s good to be back”, he said.

The music on these two new CD’s were recorded during trips Bill made to America in 1991 and 1994 and both feature newly composed or arranged piano accompaniments, recorded at his home in Bristol and overdubbed in the home of banjoist Gerry Schneider. The results of these sessions show that Bill’s mature and unique talent was still at it’s very best.

Prices for the two CD’s are Ł10 each, or the set of two for Ł18. These prices include postage and packing to mainland U.K. Send your cheque to Fred Determann, 5 Nursery Road, Ringwood, Hampshire BH24 1 NFIn the USA copies of the C.D’s are obtainable from Eli Kaufman.
