I love his tone, and I've looked him up, but all I can gather is that he was an endorsing artist for Conn. Does anyone have any other information about him?
Soy, how old is Bill Page? Junkdude has one of his album covers on his home page; I've wondered who he is/was.Bill is a friend of mine, actually he is my friend's father. He played on the Welk show for years and later pioneered the electric sax. Bill played all the woodwinds, (as you probably know from seeing that famous photo of him with all the Conns) including bassoon and English horn. He was still playing gigs a few years ago. I got my first berg mpc from Bill and still have it.
His son is Scott Page who played with Pink Floyd.
I'm scared for that alot on his shoulder!:shock: I wonder how long it took them to take that picture!
This is great dad was so funny yesterday when I was telling him about this! Got your pm and sent you an email.Hey Tanya! Great to see you here. Your dad was so helpful when i was learning to play the sax. I've always appreciated his generosity and talent. As i recall, your brother had some old 16 millimeter movie films of Bill, too.
(also sent you a private message.)
Haha. That's a funny story. Around L.A. if Leonard walked in the club, the musicians would say, "here comes Learned Father".Leonard took one look at Phil's wah-wah pedal and Phil could read the next day's (negative) review in the expression on Leonard's face.
Danny I love ya' but...I am analog gal..send me your phone number or I can get it from Scotty...this is not the most user friendly site or it could just be me...hahaha! i shared you're last 2 emails with him...has he called you yet????Tanya these are amazing! That one titled "Modern Music man"… what is that from?? I can't believe it! The first one where Bill looks so young. He must be about 16 years old.
There's a way to have your photos show up here without having to click on a link, as Chitownjazz says. In your Photobucket page under each picture is an IMG code. Simply copy that and paste it in your message here. (It helps to have two windows open when you are doing this- one for photobucket and one for this site.) Before you finish your post you can "preview" it first to make sure the photos are there and that you like the layout. If you don't see the preview button, click on "Go Advanced".
I have no knowledge of this, but I will say that Bill Page is a pretty common name and there could easily be two sax players with that name.In my opinion, it is a true shame that Mr. Page's name is being used on a commercial site to promote the host's products.…
