I have two very fond memories of my short time knowing Billy.
The first was just the two of us in his family room playing acoustic guitar. Billy was already playing Friday night gigs in high school when I first picked one up. We discovered that we both had an affinity with the Rev. Gary Davis, a gospel blues musician whose songs many folk artists of the 60's covered.
The second was just the two of us visiting at the memory care home our mother was living in a little while before she passed away. We sat on a bench outside her group gathering room and just talked for what seemed like several hours. We could talk about anything.
