5. When she asked Bill how many women he'd had
6. Bill's troubled early life
7. How he got the name "Wild Bill"
8. The magic of Condon's
9. The famous fights (among the ladies) at Condon's
10. The famous Conrad Janis sit-in story
11. She and Bill living in the country
12. The night bill escaped a traffic ticket by playing "Stardust"
for the cop
13. The Davisons in Japan and Denmark
14. How Bill died
15. Exclusive video of Bill playing in Japan and Scandinavia

For the musicians on this list, the comments by Bill and Anne on
how all musicians in America are underpaid and how American
audiences make noise while European audiences come to listen--
these alone are worth the price of the video!
Please forward this e-mail to anyone whom you think may be
interested.
Thank you very much,
