Alright!!! Bill Pohl!!!!! WHOOOOO YEAAAAA!!!

About Me

I like to do some different stuffs. For 30 years I've played the rock music on the guitar. I play in a progressive rock band called The Underground Railroad. We've been around for a little over a decade and have a couple albums out. I've also deployed a short-range band called Bill Pohl Citizen Patrol. We've done a few gigs. Sometimes I play with Little Brian. Sometimes I play with Kavin. Sometimes I get blood on Mike's guitars and pedals. I give guitar lessons at Zoo Music here in FW. I'm happily married to Kristi. She takes X-rays and teaches others how to do the same. My folks are brilliant. My brother, Philip, is Great.
