Once upon a time, in a land down south, there lived a boy named William.
He grew up on the isle of James - a hop, skip, and a jump from the fair city of Charleston (Virginia? Don't be silly there is only one Charleston).
In a house of bricks he lived with his Mama and Papa and little bro Brian. (You might remember that old nursery rhyme about him: "Little bro Brian come blow your horn, the sheeps are in the meadow and the cows are in the corn".....
William and Brian were the best of friends in those early years. Bike riding, baseball, football, pickle, hide and seek, so many great games to play.
All was well in there happy little world when a new baby made three. Saralyn was the missing link that completed the family West. It was like the Hardy boys finally had their Nancy Drew!
In the south, children grow like weeds. By now William had begun taking piano and written some music of his own. The rest of the poor West family had to put up with the "practicing" and later, the humiliation of attending each and every Chorus and Band Concert.
In college (I told you time few by quickly), William wrote a piece for Laurie Isreal and Lisa Miles titled "No. One for Two Violins" which was premiered his Junior Year.
After graduating with a Bachlor's Degree in Music, William ran away to fullfill his life long dream of selling ladies shoes! Seven wonderful years with the design house of Joan & David.
In 1999, William began his own company William West Designs. He designs and sews Draperies, Bedding, and Accessories for some of Atlanta's top Designers.
In 2000, William began writing music once more. Four years later, William began studying under Misha V. Stefanuk at the Johnson Ferry Conservatory of Music.
August 2006, William joined MySpace and is currenty writing music in his spare time.
¡Hola!... bueno, hi! (sorry, I can't speak English) :-( Verás, lo cierto es que vengo a "molestarte" un poco porque estoy promocionando mi música y, por otra parte, tampoco tengo muy claro si la estoy enfocando bien o no. Yo creo que mi mejor tema es Temptation pero alguna gente me dice que es Sex69. Son 2 estilos muy diferentes y cada vez me veo más liado en lo referente a cuál de ellos debo seguir. No sé a ciencia cierta qué es lo que más rompe en las pistas de baile. Por eso me estoy dedicando a "viajar" por el myspace adelante a fin de ir recogiendo algunos consejos. Lo peor de todo es que... I don't speak English :-( o sea que no puedo conocer la opinión de los angloparlantes :-( I so sorry! Perdona por darte latabarra de esta manera pero es que ya no sé qué hacer ¡Un montón de gracias! ¡Toda ayuda es poca y cuantos más oídos mejor! Para cualquier cosa que tu también necesites ¡aquí estoy!
How are you Mr William West...Passing by to tell you that I really appreciate your comments...thanks so much for the support and the same back to you...Miguel
