If you have heard any of the tracks from the “eclectic”   or “the Legend of Sleepy Hollow” CD’s, you heard the work of Bill Hicks.

I sat for hours in front of a microphone reading my poetry over and over and over again –until I thought I had the words right.

Bill was my sound guy.  He listened to all of those tracks over and over and over again. He engineered each one in order to achieve the best sound quality that could be managed from two home PC’s.  It was his idea to add sound effects.  He made the “Halloween” track into something special, just as he did on “Linda’s Favorite Story” and other tracks.  He brought the same talents to the table with the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” too.

I teased him that he was “The Sound Guy of the Universe”  a reference to the Ruler of the Universe web site.

I only knew Bill in the confines of the internet.  Never saw him.  Never spoke with him.  And yet when it came to making a spoken word CD, we were on the same page.

Bill Hicks passed away today.

The silence is deafening.
