"In not only a music world, but a real world full of hang-ups and exaggerated woes, it is never short of refreshing when a voice comes along who can say the 30 words you were thinking in only five." Matilda Swartz- The Villanovan

"It is the sort of American music that people rarely make or listen to anymore; instead favoring the manufactured falseness of pop’s princes and princesses. However, there is nothing false in Williams’ songs." -Music Submit.com
My pops left when I was 3. My mother my brothers and I ended up on welfare. The stigma of the less fortunate rears it's ugly face on every corner when you're wearing second hand shoes. I found a guitar in an apartment my family lived in. I'd listen to songs on the radio, find the melodies on the guitar, and play along. I had no idea what I was doing. It just made me happy.
It helped me forget the way people looked at me, and the way I was treated.
It helped me to trust in my own measure and not to be knocked by those better off than me.
Music can take your troubles away. It can make you feel something that no one thing can. Money, sex, drugs, frills, status, all that crap. Nothing material can compare to the power of music.
To this day I continue to escape through my music. I play and write all my own stuff. This is my story; these tales are my pain, my emotional scars. Music can give you an identity. I write about what I know, what I've been through, and the roads I've been down. Many people have been down the same roads I have; subsequently, they can relate to the music I write.
The struggles of life know no color, creed, or status. "At one time or another we had to take detours to get where we are (Roads)." If you can find something in my songs that you like, I'm thankful. My music isn't for everyone. It's nothing like the machine driven pop music that fills the air waves today.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING BILLY and family! I an thankful to call you my friend and feel honored to represent you and your talent. Let's get busy in 2010! Love ya, Kat
Great set on Wednesday night, was nice to see you and BD Mylo together again as well... brought back memories from Cape May... what a magical night that was too. Keep working hard, good things are just around the bend.
I hope you'll celebrate with me! I've been picked up for regular NATIONWIDE broadcast on Mind TV! First broadcasts in all fifty states start on Thursday, Nov 12, @ 3:16 AM and then later Thursday night just seconds after midnight! Thanks so much for your myspace support!!
Things are great. Glad to hear you are well. Moving to Ontario Nov. 30, waiting for housing on my rez. Flying to Denver tomorrow, then off on leisurely drive to Vegas fro a rodeo & powwow! Whoo hoo! Gonna stop for ceremonies and visiting and sacred sites, along the way. I am so blessed!
I'm doing alright I guess. This is the last month, so I'm huge and slow moving. I cannot wait to meet this little girl! I'll text you a pic! miss you dear!
