Description
When William was a young boy his father took him to his first piano lesson. During that first lesson he learned about Middle C on the piano. He was transfixed that he could make such a beautiful sound with just the touch of his finger. That was also his last lesson because his teacher was arrested shortly afterwards for child molestation. William was hooked on music however, and endlessly practiced what he had learned at that sole lesson . He was determined to make music his life. William soon learned that playing Middle C on the piano was not going to bring him fame. He needed to expand his musical skills. So he taught himself to play Middle C on the electric guitar, the Hammond Organ, A Roland Synth, an electric piano and even the Vibraphone. (Some of these he found very easy because they were similar to the piano). Several years later, however, William found himself still struggling with a career that was headed nowhere. He was working as a solo act in a small club on the edge of Greenwich Village when one night the legendary bassist Buddy Buffington and Desmond Decker, the renowned session drummer, dropped in and then sat in for the remainder of the night. The rest, as they say, is history. The synergy among the trio was said to be electric and soon the critics started to sit up and take notice. Shortly after they first played together ,the trio made an appearance at a benefit for abused husbands at Carnegie Hall. The concert was secretly recorded by New York Post critic Harvey Wisenstein. The recordings have surfaced after Wisenstein was murdered in his apartment by his wife. It is the only known recording of the One Note William Trio. As you know, William was lost at sea while working a gig on a cruise ship shortly after his Carnegie Hall Appearance. A loss to the music word ... but now we can hear what few have heard before.

I love the story, it's really cute. The music is great, too. It's amazing what
you can do with one note and good back-up players.
