Sunday 23 March Listening Through A Glass Onyon
Billy James, who died recently, was a U.S. based publicist who supplied many shows in the early days of Get Ready to ROCK! Radio.
Billy’s musical taste was steeped in psychedelia, amongst also a passion for artists such as Zappa (with whom he jammed!), Todd Rundgren and Alice Cooper. He wrote several books about these artists. Under the name of ANT-BEE he also released several albums that featured some of his heroes.
