As a child was forced to study Piano. {Not really, just joking!}
When William graduated high school, and piano, he actually began to play and write music. William began to explore guitar, brass and woodwind instruments. In 1991, he had a 8 string guitar custom built by Rock Guitars, in Berwick, LA. The 8 string boasted a double 5th and Double 6th, as found on a 12 string guitar. William also built his own 6 string electric, which is his main guitar. William is currently building a 13 string Harp Guitar, and restoring an 1930's Sears parlour guitar. Williams main piano is an 1904 Decker and son 7ft Grand, that he restored in 2004. The strings, action, key tops and pins were replace, making the restoration 100%
William and John Crappell founded Society of Musicians in October of 2009 to provide a professional venue for musicians who are Christian, family oriented professionals, and do not want to preform in smoky clubs, or bars, or anywhere talent would not be recognized. Here is the mission statement ;
"The Society of Musicians is an exclusive mixture of talent assembled for the promotion of original music and musical expression. The Society recognizes no musical rules. This meeting is open to musicians only. All musicians are encouraged to perform at their skill level in their own style. No performer shall be judged by their skill level, as we are all students improving our God given talents. This evening performance is all about the appreciation of music."
William got Married in 1992, to his high school crush, Candy Martin. They have 9 Children as of this date. William is a devoted father and husband. William makes a living dealing in real estate leasing and building, BUT his career is taking care of his family. William also is an devout catholic, producing films for Citadel Catholic Media, and is a Writer/ publisher of Catholic literature. William also is an Certified building inspector and plans reviewer. He serves on many boards of directors in an effort to "Give something Back" to the community.
William began farming in 2009, and now has 15 American Blackbelly and Katatidn sheep, 100 egg laying Chickens, 2 turkeys, and a dog. His garden looks like a weed bed, buy does produce enough tomatoes, beans, lettuce and spinach to keep his family's table full.
