Letter from Bill’s Mom Roxy
My Super Duper Billy Booper (always my nickname for him). Our family refers to him as the Pied Piper! For 32 years I got to ride on this magical mystery tour of Billy’s journey.

He was the influential force for Contra Public and the survivors of his band Peabody’s Monster are very distraught. Musicians all over this town have come together for support.… Continue reading Bud’s Letter to the Editor
