Ask Bill – March 1

1) Do you ever write songs that you prefer to keep to yourself because they are too personal to share with other people?

Not very many, but a couple do come to mind. When my first child was born, I wrote a song for her that nobody outside our family has ever heard. And recently, when a special person in my life was diagnosed with cancer, I wrote a song that I hoped might encourage her. It did, and I’ve thought about maybe recording it someday in hopes of encouraging others. Stay tuned.

2) At one of the very first country radio conventions in Nashville I met you at the airport, and you said you owned several radio stations. Are you still involved in ownership?

No I’m not. The two happiest days of my life were the day I bought my first station and the day I sold it.

3) Which season of the year do you enjoy the most?

The fall. I love the first bite of cool air after a long, hot summer…and I love it when the end of baseball season collides with the beginning of football. Bring it on!

4) I’m combining two questions here: Have you ever considered coming to Alaska for a performance? Have you ever performed in the state of Nebraska?

I have performed in every state except Hawaii. I’ve never performed for the general public in Alaska, but I did some shows at Elmendorf Air Force Base back in the seventies and on an Alaskan cruise a couple of years ago. I’ve performed many times in Nebraska, and always enjoyed it there. The same goes for Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other states you have asked about recently. I still love performing, and I’ll come back to your area as soon as I’m invited!

Thanks for your questions. Send yours to askbill@billanderson.com and stay curious.
