Recently lost my love of 57 years. Here is a 50th anniversary video my youngest daughter put together. https://youtu.be/e77ySH4d91o

Have lived in PH all my life. Went on the road as a musician and then was drafted into the Army in 1967. Got Married in 1967 and then started working for IBM in 1969 while still playing music 3 nights a week locally. My full resume can be seen on linkedin.
Retired from IBM, BofA, California University System and now own Wright Way Mgmt Web Services building small to medium business web sites. Locally that includes la-mordida.com....any many more which can be seen on my web site.

We currently have 7 grandchildren.

Just visited our 7th grandchild...with my namesake, Billy Van Brayley. Born on mothers day 5-10-15 and at 11:08 pm and weight 8lbs 11oz...talk about numbers happening!! Everyone is doing great. Dad just made it home from NY auditioning a show for Vegas....I think the baby waited because as soon as he was home they had to leave for the hospital....funny how that works!
Posting pics on FB.

Most of my school stories revolve around music. I was a band nerd back then.

OH Bill. So sorry to hear about your loss. Give yourself lots of time to grieve her passing. My heart aches for you. Get into a "Grief Share" support group. It really helps the healing process and give you more understanding of what you're going through. You are on our prayer list now.

Hello classmates. My wife of 55 years passed away 11/6/2022 from congestive heart failure. She was everything to our family and will be missed everyday. We knew it was going to happen but it is still a shock when it does. Here is a short video from our 50th wedding anniversay. She was such a strong, beautiful lady. https://youtu.be/e77ySH4d91o

Thanks for the happy birthday wishes.....it feels good to still be upright and taking nourishment!! LOL...I keep going to the YMCA but the eating thing is my biggest problem. Quit smoking when I was 35 and was not that difficult to say no to tobacco but food is a whole other challenge. Love to eat and the social aspect too.
Another new year and hope to see you this summer.

Here is an old You Tube video of a gig I played years ago with a PHHS student, Bob Wilson. I think this was a crab feed for Carondelet High School. Year unknown.

This is a single tune from a gig at a Crab Feed...date unknown

Hey Bill, you were the first person to really introduce me to jazz. As Doug says we all loved the PHHS jazz band, but what I really remember was our trip to the Monterey Jazz Festival. Your youngest daughters interest in healthcare and fitness (Arbonne) seems like an excellent fit when combined with her time/success on Broadway.
