END ISSUE
HELP!!!
This is the only newsletter I could find from my collection (I know ---
some fan, huh?)! If anyone has any Billy newsletters, give them to me so
that I can put them on this sight.
Also, I need lyrics to the songs without links. I'm currently working
on them myself, but if anyone has any Billy songs not in the discography
(i.e. bootlegs, etc.) let me know. Thanks.
