Hi All,

I was so saddened to hear this.  Bill was a true student of harmonica 
engineering and a first class guy.  If there is anything I can do, please 
let me know.

For those of you who didn't know Bill, he built the Virtuoso and other 
custom harmonicas that are true treasures of modern engineering as well as 
hand craftsmanship.  Each of his instruments, combs and slides (etc.) got 
special attention.  Bill spent many hours on the phone with me teaching me 
about harmonica construction and he crafted several harmonicas, slides and 
combs for me.

I will try to make an example of a tune I recorded on one of Bill's complete 
instruments he built for me.

Michael
