Influences: A personal message- Hey All. . A lot of folks just know me as Bill Dee. I happy to be here in Music City sharing words, songs and life...Iron sharpens iron..must be present to win. I write whats in my heart. Some say I write Gospel, some say Country and 'other'. They are all right. What I really want to say is, I'm a songwriter..period..What you live and what's in your heart, is what "spills out all over the page"(Jagger/Richards). Listen to the songs and you'll get an idea of what I'm tyring to say. I've done just about every gig you can imagine as a performer.From bluegrass to Electronica/Hard Rock in the late 90's NYC scene. I stopped trying to be something about 5 years ago and in the process became a songwriter! God works in strange ways! More to come later..Peace
