Well, been playing guitar since the age of 4. My first live performance was in grade school. Put together by my teacher and principle because they were impressed with my talent, at the time and for my age. They put together an assembly show in March, 1958, for me. I was 8. I haven't missed a performance since. Over 9,000 near as I can figure, maybe more? I've opened for many a big name act. I've composed over 200 original songs, over the past 55 years since. Multi talented (All God Given by the way) Guitar, 6, 12 string, Bass, 5 String Banjo, Piano, Keyboards, Harmonica, Drums a bit of Fiddle / Violin & Chello. Due to the hardships keeping a band together these days? I've worked out this special idea. "W.B. and the Me Band." LOL! Not due to concete? But difficulties in trying to hold a band together these days? Many, Big Egos, or those wanting to play in my bands when I was doing well. But a few, unfrotunately, thought they'd just take over the band and it's primary goals or genre, etc. I absolutely believe in show-casing all my band members! Sharing the spot-light was nor ever is a problem for me. I'm not a Star? I'm un-selfish when it comes to sharing. I'm very laid back! Easy going! My fav. motto is: ' If they're picking on me?' ' They're leaving someone else alone.' I'm told, I'm loyal to a fault! Too trusting! And often sacrifice myself, too much, when helping others especially children, the elderly & disabled. I am an Alien! But shssss?

To all my friends here at SC ... Please forgive my absense from SC, for awhile? I cannot explain here the grusome details, as to why? It does revolve around serious financial issues & my serious physical limitations, (my old '68 & '83, spinal injuries & resulting surgeries, & this ever slow, advancing MS & it's worsening episodes), and lacking of the most simplest of resources to work with. Local friends, & the few family, left, trying to help? But don't have the resources themselves, as they too, struggle to keep their own family's heads above the economic waters. I will be offline for some time. However, my site will remain? I will use a library, when I can, to hopefully access it. I will be living outta the backseat of my old, beater of a car for now. You can get a message to me, if important? Call this No. (517) 618 3803. This was my incare home worker & friends, Kathy or Mike Hines. I'll post more, when I can? Ya'll Be Well!
New Song for you to give listen and rate if you wish?

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6380201 How ya'll! Just contacting all my friends to let them all know ... I have posted a new song. Click or copy and paste, URL above to go to it? "How Can You Still Love Me (and still do the things you do)" While it's not the ones I wanted to get out? But another from years back. My hand and wrist are doing better? But evidently, not going to be able to record for while, as I tried, as soon as the cast came off. I'm gonna need quite a bit of working with it, just for the simplest recordings, I had planned. So, I put this song up, as I promised many, I would post something by March? And being a man of my word? Howbeit ... not the songs, I had planned due to possibly over-exuberance, thinking I'd be able to just get right back to recording within a short time after the cast came off? OWHEE! ! ! Damn? It just didn't work for me, regardless of trying to get one out. Looks like I'll need a lot more PT, on it, before I can even play anywhere near reasonable? So, if ya'll like ... lease feel free to visit the site, and take a listen? Let me know what you think, more of the story, than the overall quality. It was a rough, left as is, demo. And why I didn't post it before, as I had hope to re-record it and make major adjustments, I just didn't have the equipment for, when first done? Thank you all for hangin in there with me ... and all the E's and posts of care and support, while I was healing up? You've all been great friends, and so kind to this o'le outlaw? Even so tolorant of my rough recordings, techniques, and sounds. May someday, I'll get some good recording equipment, so I can produce something with real sound and fidelity instead of this cheap-o, fixed track on track, cassette setup, I've been stuck with for years? Ya'll be well! Best to you and yours, as always. WB
To all my friends here on SC ... Sorry ya'll

Most have not seen me on site 4 a time now? But I see many have been here. Sadly, while trying to do a good deed for a disabled Vet? Long story! He couldn't afford to get his front brakes done on his van. So, I took on doing it for him, Free, as I know how, as a former Mechanic and Stockcar driver. Unfortunately too, The old Jack-Stand, I had holding up each side of the vehicle, failed. The suspension came down on my hand and wrist. It broke both! OUCH! So for those who've been looking for me or my new songs posted here, as promised? I haven't been able to play or record them & get them up. Nor get online much & type one-handed. But figured I ought to let ya'll know what's been happenin since the start of my new year. Not pretty! But hang in there ... I will try and get it done as soon as I'm able to use my L hand and fingers, again. May be another 9 to 10 weeks or so with rehab? Not how I had hoped 2008 would start for me? Happening aiding another in Need? Bearing my Cross, I guess?

Today, I wasted hours learning how to use this site? NOt sure if it was me and my MS, acting up? Or the site and it's MS, screwing me up? But I won, at last.

PS ... To all my friends ... Please pass this info on to those you think may enjoy this song ... and the way it was actually done. Plain and Simple. The entire tape of 20 songs I composed in prison was done in this one sitting, on a lit'l kid's type karaoke machine. One cheap ole mic to pickup both guitar and vocal. Done in the Chaplins office, as simply a copyright submission tape. But was able to clean up the warble and tape hiss a bit ... so I decided to make this very tape into a CD itself. Maybe raise some funds to help our GSS group, help others. Anyone interested in helping us pull this off? Please email me, and I'll explain what can be done. Oh? 'The OutLaw's Still Alive' is still available on the Bandit Radio station below, and on my music page as well for those who wish to still listen. Thanks ya'll for passin on the word for me? Be well!

Howdy everyone! Tis yer old Outlaw, WB here. Hope all is okay with my friends here on SC and around the globe? Sorry, I haven't been able to stay up to date and in touch with many of you. Most of you, (I think) were aware, I was homeless for almost 7 months and living (once again) outta my car? Well, I just moved into a place. It's very small, and I'm not completely setup yet? My MS, is a bit worse? But I'm still fightin! Just thought I'd let you know, I was able to dig out one of my old originals, I hadn't considered posting here, just yet. But I did, as it's relevant today, to my situation, and many others, I'm sure? So, just droppin all my friends a note to let you know, it's posted to my music page. "A Backseat I Call Home" Feel free to go take a listen as it's a free download as well, if you like it? I hope to help others with it. More about that on my main page. Be
