Billy's Discography...

FARMER'S JAM

    This is a live album from the year of 2007.

    Andy and I produced this from “LIVE” shows at many gigs throughout the year and ending in August. The CD debuted at “The Puyallup Fair” beer garden. Five hundred copies went out at the fair that year and two more pressings since have proven this album is a keeper. ALL my musical buddies are on this one.

SO MANY WORLDS SO LITTLE TIME

    I recorded this CD in Billings, Montana in the spring of 2003 just before I returned to Tacoma. It was my intention to put a CD that would function as both a enjoyable listen AND a promotional tool. It has far exceeded my expectations. The engineer/producer was Brad Edwards. Brad’s varied career in jazz and his radio presence helped me immensely. His knowledge of recording is quite simply obvious on this fine sounding solo effort. The quality of the sound is amazing.

    Track Listing:

    1. Gentle on My Mind - Hartford
    2. Mr. Bojangles – Walker
    3. Fire & Rain – Taylor
    4. Sunday Morning Coming Down – Kristofferson
    5. The Cowboy Song – Brooks
    6. Skippin’ Lunch – Farmer
    7. Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring – Bach
    8. Fly Me to the Moon – Howard
    9. Mountain – Farmer
    10. West Again - Farmer

THE WEAKENDERS - DVD

    This Band was born out of great affinity for Neil Young’s music. BOTH Chuck and I have long loved Neil’s sound and vibe. We decided to put a band together to play festivals, and fairs and bring the sounds of old-time and Crazy Horse around to one ride. This DVD was recorded at the BATES SOUNDSTAGE at Bate’s Vocational college and was engineered and mastered by ANDY HALL. Way to go Andy! The great sound he got was from flying the sound from the stage back into the control room and mixing on the great console.

    Track Listing:

    1. Cortez the Killer
    2. Walk On
    3. Powerfinger
    4. I Need You Tonight
    5. Like a Hurricane

LOVE DYLAN
    On a drizzly night in early-June 2007 seven musicians and twice as many citizens gathered for a night of loving Bob’s great songs. I have a theory that states: BOB DYLAN music is best listened to on bright streets at night in the rain… and then he came out with the book and the cover showed the same. Just shows that me and Bob are a crew. I’ve been doing his songs since the first day I picked up a guitar and I was fiddling with the melody to “Buckets of Rain” just yesterday. Right on through his music continues to make me smile, laugh and scoff at the wild world he describes that I amble about in from place to place. We, the collective bunch: Jimi & Terry O’Hara, Me, Rick Gonzalez, Jay Douglas, Julie Campbell & Thea Westcott played extended versions of songs that we’ve all come to know and love --- LOVE DYLAN. And it was a great way to raise some funds for the transient housing “AGAPE HOUSE” in Tacoma. It’s DOUBLE CD with 160 minutes of running time.

    Track Listing:

    1. Tangled Up in Blue
    2. Simple Twist of Fate
    3. All Along the Watchtower
    4. I Shall Be Released
    5. I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight
    6. Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door
    7. You’re A Big Girl Now

      And many more… playing time 160 minutes – double CD

LIGHTHOUSE

    A collection of songs that came about during 2005 and 2006 that eventually became this limited CD of mostly instrumental music. Merri Sutton named the title song and took the cover photo. She heard me playing the (days old) song on my FIRST night in Blondies at the “OPEN MIC” in early April of 2005. That seems like such a long time ago now. The CD was recorded at PACIFIC STUDIOS in downtown Tacoma and is mostly SOLO although TONY from Pacific added a drum track on “When Will I See You” that remained on this version.

    My only instrument used was my (then) BRAND new Martin D18VS. Whadda beaut. I bought it NEW from Mike Nadolson at Tricopolis Records at Wintergrass. It was love at first sight and I have to thank CYNTHIA for making it happen. That guitar brought out the song “Lighthouse” right away. No waiting. Certain instruments just have tunes in them and they come out as soon as they’re picked up by their handlers.

    The CD was “produced” by my friend Glenda Broyles and shows her ability to see projects through to finish. We got it ready for the OLALLA HOUSE concert of 2007 and 30 pieces went out that night. Another 25 went at the Puyallup Fair and I have the only remaining copy in archive.

    If you would like a copy of this fine SOLO CD just inquire. We’ll make it happen. Special thanks to Merri Sutton for the cover photo. These songs can be heard on my MySpace.

    1. Lighthouse

    3. First Love
    4. When Will I See You?
