Meet Bill
The
Guitar.
At the ripe old age of ten, Bill Gagnon was given his first guitar. A beautiful electric on which he taught himself the magic of music and triggering his passion for the instrument. As the years progressed, so did he and in highschool, his father, trading in an intsrument of his own, purchased an acoustic so his son could continue developing the natural talents he appeared to have been born with. Bill took to the acoustic like a fish to water, the guitar and his voice, complimenting each other perfectly. The Guitar. Bill's key to a wonderful world of beauty and expression, a world he knew he wanted to share with all. |

Throughout junior high and highschool, Bill played music. Delta, a band he formed with friends Mike Chiello, Bill Foote, Joe Skelly and Bill's brother Bob, went on to become local favorites. They packed clubs from NY, Long Island, Connecticut, and even opened for Sha Na Na at the HIC Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii, performing infront of nine thousand people. |
The Guitar. |
But most of all, it is the
sound. The deep resonation of the strings, the full, rich body of music
as the cords are strummed, the sustain that hangs in the air...the
music. And being a musician, it is that song strummed on those strings
that tell him the birth is complete. A wonderful sound, a deep richness
that vibrates in the center of your chest, filling you up, bringing a
smile to your lips. |
