By the age of three, residing in Boston, Massachusetts, he began playing his mother's Steinway Grand piano. His feet could not reach the sustain pedal, and his little fingers were too small to span a perfect fifth, so he would mimic his mom's playing of Duke Ellington, Franz Liszt, and George Gershwin by arpeggiating the notes over and over to create a resounding tone.<br /><br />By the time he was sixteen, he was playing acoustic guitar, and entertaining the students at his Prep School.<br /><br />Sidetracked for many, many years, via Corporate America, he hung up his musical scales for nearly twenty years, oh, and Music is such a jealous god!! She made Bill work harder than ever to prove himself worthy of returning to the craft.<br /><br />Now, four years later, Wild Bill has about 180 songs (under construction), is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International, and he will never give up, never be sidetracked again from his one true love: the delight and entertainment of his audiences everywhere.<br />&nbsp;</p><p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p><p>Cd review : "Wild Bill" Austin / Give'em Some Rock And Roll<br /><br />Category: Music<br /><br />There are those who express themselves in the most artisic ways. Art if you will, is usually messured by the complexity of the painters thought on to canvas which is a reflection of his talent ie: The more complex the better the talent. This is not true in some cases. I think it was Sting who said "Its not what you play but what you dont play makes the difference between good and great". The album " Give'em Some Rock And Roll" exudes this to the messure. From the spectum of Jazz to Electo-dance, The far reaching boundries are explored and sometimes exceeded however; listening to 'Wild Bill Austin's "Give'em Some Rock And Roll" Cd, where there is no Jazz or Electro music I find that even the simplest form of rock and roll / country music is just as boundless if the artist sings and plays with passion. "Wild Bill" shows us that music is fun,comical and sincere. From the beautiful ballad of " One Little Angel to the free form and whimsical 'DETRACTORS" I found myself asking what will this guy do next. The lyrics range from opinions to love to enjoying life. If your looking for a little fun and something different out of the mainstream then this Cd is your to purchase from Local Scene Records. He may not be steve Vai but he is the talent he does have suits his message in an unsurpassed simple way. This artists is passionate about his music and his message which the listener will pick up on as I did.<br /><br />James Onusko<br />Producer/ Indie Music reviewer<br />Freelance Reporter.</p><div class="caption"><a title="Jim Onusko Independent music review" href="http://localscenerecords.homestead.com/newstore.html" target="_blank">Jim Onusko - Independent music review</a> (Mar 31, 2009)</div><div class="caption">&nbsp;</div><div class="caption">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div class="caption">&nbsp;</div><div class="caption"><div class="entry"><a style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" name="10"></a><h2><span class="news_title">Wild Bill Austin releases "Ballad Of&nbsp;The Asian Cowgirl "</span><span class="news_dash"> - </span><span class="date">April 28, 2009</span></h2><div class="notes">This is the lastest Cd from Wild Bill.
