Bill's obsessive odyssey into the music world began in 1957 when his mother noticed him responding to the song "Little Star" by The Elegants and bought him the 45. Unfortunately, Bill was three and did not yet own a turntable, but he remembers that "it tasted great." This led to years of voracious sampling of music of all kinds, a hobby that cost him all his allowance, newspaper boy savings and college loan funds. It is rumored that the "death of vinyl" can be directly traced back to his series of frantic telephone calls to music labels in 1989 claiming that he was running out of storage space. Now older, wiser and poorer, Bill's mission in life is to allow his readers to tune into that great radio station that lies between his ears. But don't mess with the knobs.
