   About The White Tornado

The White Tornado plays piano, sings, writes music and refers to himself in the third person. He is the alter ego of the mild-mannered Bill Peterson, and was born in the blues jams and funkin' jazz jams of Iowa City.

The White Tornado sometimes plays by himself and sometimes plays with a drummer and bass player, which is referred to by meteorologists as The White Tornado Outbreak. Lately he's even been spotted playing with some sick wind-instrument players known as The Hornsmen of the Apocalypse.

The White Tornado tries to write songs that make you laugh, dance or nod your head, and maybe think. He was the kid in your class that drew comic books with himself as the hero and tightrolled his jeans even though you told him he wasn't cool enough.

Howdy,
Nope, it isn't my banner that is behind me...it is my friend's banner. He helps me with sound equipment when i don't feel like dragging heavy stuff into and out of my pickup, etc. and helps with promotion.
Total Deniability Productions is his company.

cheers!
