Billy Felix

About Me

I am a thoroughly amateur musician, sometimes it sounds ok, sometimes it sounds somewhat less ok. I am a solo act at the moment, although I used to be in a band where we sang songs in Spanish; that was pretty fun. Sometimes I have a lot of silly ideas. Sometimes I have no ideas at all.If your interest is piqued, just about all the songs I've ever recorded can be found at last.fm. It's been a long lonely road, but it's been a road to somewhere.

so all my good people, for all intents and purposes, the new album, entitled "the cold, clammy hands of death" is about 90% done.  i'm thinking i'll have it all up on last.fm to download by the e...

for all those curious ears and eyes.

so much to say, these days. the entirely sub-par thrift store guitar has been replaced with a reasonably respectable used guitar of decent quality (with a pickup in it, now that's the important part)....
