You may remember, I told you I had an American agent who was going to work on the book.

Interview Opt, Week After Receipt of Book


@ Taped 10am and 11:30am CST on a weekday


Says: I’ll pre-record it and probably split it up into a few parts to use over a few days.As a Classic Rock station that plays U2, The Who, Tom Petty, Springsteen, Paul McCartney, etc, I’m sure Billy could provide LOADS of interesting info for my listeners! I don’t have a Kindle or an eReader. Now I can’t WAIT to read it! I begin my show with 96 minutes of commercial-free music so that would be a great time to talk to Billy with minimal interruptions…and be able to record the interview here in the on-air studio…really looking forward to this!! If you want to send along an extra copy, I’m SURE there are other people on our ‘KLH airstaff who would LOVE to read it and would certainly mention it on the air!  Our morning show is doing a live broadcast from Tulum, Mexico this week (yeah…sucks to be them!), but when they return they might be interested in doing something live with Billy, too.  I’ll certainly ask them about it and forward all the info to them once they’ve gone thru the other messages that pile up during the week.
