The one that surfaces immediately? You watching over me as I was passed out in the graveyard (I was ill with a fever and in those days they didn't let people bail from a faire day for illness), soliciting for more corpses before you were to start digging.

I was semi-conscious, and could hear every word you said. I had to stop myself from laughing, repeatedly, lest I spoil the joke.

God. There are so many....

Playing music together in the window during the movie.

Sewing, trimming, and turning.

"Bill? Keep me alive...." (hee!)

I do think, however, one of the most amazing memories I have is the Judas conversation that we improved in the stairwell, and the silence our words laid upon the place.

your beautiful family, the complete atmosphere of your home, your writing of intimacy that i have rarely experienced. :)

Too many...

The "Ting! TIng!" fight

The flying body grovel onto the unnoticed tree root

A couple of years ago in a kilt with that red wig on...

Too many

Sedalia, MO, 2002.

"Do you, by some miracle, have an extra pair of tights you could sell us? Ray ripped a hole in the pair back at the hotel."

"Not with me but..." *looks at Ray from waist to feet* "You'd be about a large.* *pulls out cell phone* "Let me see if Melissa has left the house yet. If she hasn't, I'll have her bring a pair with her."

(She had already left the house and was on her way.) I'll never forget the way you managed to judge a size.

The little "jump" thing you started when something heavy hits the ground. I think of you everytime the guys do that.

Well, if we get more than one there's always the older women with very large, blue-tinted beehive hairdos at the St. Patrick's Day gig at the Newsroom in Wyandotte county (1996) who thought Bill was really, really cute.

What can I say... he has a certain... charisma... about him.

Hmmm that would have to be the first time I met you! After much, much driving I arrived at White Heart, got pointed in the general direction of the cast and went that way. The faire day was over and the cast was gathered around the fire. There you sat strumming your guitar. You played a few song and I wondered if you knew any James Taylor. Before I could ask you broke in to a JT song and I broke into a wide grin! It was wonderful!

Hell Bill,

Where do I start ???

Neary two decades maybe ? always loved that day in Up Start Crows, when we wrote the script, and laughed so damned hard we couldn't see straight !
