great tribute Perry..didnt know Bill that well other than as a casual acquaintance from high school but one thing that impressed me was his knowledge and taste for the obscure movies I thought I was the only one that watched and the ability to quote equally obscure lines from the same movies..his passing is just tragic

Downloaded first thing this morning and listened twice. I'm sure Bill appreciates it; I know I do. It was both difficult and comforting to listen to. I'll think of him every time I listen to it. Hopefully in time it will be with a smile.

Very nice tribute...choked me up at the end...music and emotion...if the listeners did not love you before they saw this side of you...its a bonding experience.

Perry, this is the first time I've clicked on Terri's FB link and a rare day when I'm allowing myself to venture beyond my typical online haunts. Sounds like you lost a dear friend? Please tell me where I can read the back story, if you have one posted online?
Perry responds:
I do not know of any tributes to Bill Figatner online save for his Facebook Page or the comments in his Tribune Obit.
But I will tell you this; I have seen a bunch of random posts on Facebook from strangers asking “who is this Bill guy?” Bill was that sort of guy.

Awesome tribute I still remember that apartment overlooking the highway and Bill sticking his head out the window to tell you I have arrived.

Sorry for your loss, Perry. Perhaps your friend Bill is listening to this heartfelt tribute somewhere in the great cosmos and smiling.

Hi Perry,
I was sorry to learn of the loss of your childhood friend. Your music selections were a great tribute, especially the final song. Hang in there.

I know you'd rather not have had to make this one, but as others have said, it stands as a great tribute. He sounds like a true treasure & you did right by him.

Perry, I've always thought that you've picked the perfect songs before. After listening to this one, I was blown away, it was a work of art.
Thanx for absolutely everything. Your picks have always been my favz. Through your music we connect, and i'm so sorry for the loss of a great friend.

Hi Perry,
Simply great. I would have liked to contribute to that ending with a "live" recording of the solo spliced in :D
Sorry to hear about Bill.
Perry responds:
Don't think for a second I didn't think about a cool obscure live version, or as you say, I could have stitched something together.
But in this case, purity was more important in reliving the memory . . .

Perry, just catching up to this podcast. So sorry for your loss. With everyone that we lose, it takes a little more out of us, doesn't it, my friend?
Perry responds:
Amen, Mike.
Amen . . .
