Item Special Note

Hailed by the Boston Globe as "this generation's Kerouac", and one of the originators of the Boston punk scene, Willie's been around the music scene since the 60's.  He's a Cult hero, a Boston Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and was in the Velvet Underground after
Lou Reed.  He was part of the Lost on Capitol Records and The Bagatelle, and in the 70's The Boom Boom Band on MCA. His bands look like a list of Who's Who in music from the Boston beat. He toured the country with Elvis Costello, but loves the other Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. He's played jazz drums, rock n roll keyboard, and vocals with a ton of bands and released scores of singles, lps, and cds on everything from major labels to the smallest independent labels. He's also been doing spoken word performances and readings from his voluminous journals since the 1960's.
