Wonderful! jzstephan Advanced Member Username: jzstephan Post Number: 293 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - 5:16 pm:    Jerry is irreplaceable, but I think Bill gets the vibe of this music better than anybody. He just needs an Alembic! spose Advanced Member Username: spose Post Number: 349 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - 3:19 am:    Bill is a wonderful man. I had the pleasure of talking with him at Hornings SCI shows. We talked about building him a modern pedal board switching system after I watched him pull every pedal out of his gym bag and proceed to chain them together. Yes, indeed. sweet vibe. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11734 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - 3:29 pm:    This video shows some of his pedals and hints at how he gets some of the effects he was using in the Phil and Friends performance. edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 2007 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - 6:25 pm:    I used to see him play every Saturday afternoon at the 1369 Club in Cambridge MA in the early 80s. Most people in there for an afternoon drink ignored him, but it was amazing. moonliner Advanced Member Username: moonliner Post Number: 314 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 06, 2015 - 12:54 am:    Bill is amazing… so great to hear him with Phil. I was very fortunate to be able to tour and record an album with him many years ago. It was called "Bill Frisell and The Willies". It was right around the time he was really diving into country music. It was slightly awkward when we played in England, because willie means …. something else. We were doing a fancy gig at Barbacon Hall in London and he told the audience in his quiet, stammering manner "we changed the name of the band….. we're now called…. penis" edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 2010 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 06, 2015 - 8:19 am:    Great story! What a treat to play with Bill. I'm going to have to find that album. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11741 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 07, 2015 - 5:06 pm:    Here are The Willies at North Sea Jazz in '99.
