thru his school years while attending Howell High School in Howell, MI. In 1988 he joined the band Krypton. "We played mainly in Brighton at Cardona's, you lifers around the county will remember that place, and we also played at O'Shea's in Wixom". The Band broke up or "retired" in 1995 but Billy still had the urge to play. Billy states "STF has been great for me
and has fired the music up in me up once again. I have learned something from each and every one of the STF boys. I love this band. I also continue to play with the Livingston County Concert Band, due to the fact I can't get enough playing time in.
Musical influences are Alto Reed of Bob Seger & Silver Bullitt Band
Clarence "The Big Man" Clemons of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band,
Bobby Keys , The Rolling Stones ,The Beatles and pretty much anything else
that I tap my foot to, and also Mary Jones and Dale Marzewski, music
instructors I have known for 30 years.
