Bill states:

“After 40yrs in the business of show, I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated the workings of the human body more!

Seriously, I'm not getting older, I’m getting better. Or should I say more appreciative of my industry. Lyrics to a song have different meanings, lighting in a scene now creates emotional depth and a genuine smile from a fan is a warmer hug then performances in the past. Every time I finish a show it’s just one more blessing I can count. How lucky am I to have been able to perform and make a career of entertaining. Thanks”
