Album Notes

William Hart Strecker-Modern Rhythm and Blues Originally from Long Island,New York, Strecker has been writing songs and performing for most of his life.

He trained in classical music in high school, and won numerous awards in New York state.

By age 19, he became disillusioned with the classical world, and went on to form his own band, playing country, blues, and r&b.

Always a step away from stardom, his band New Hope, released a single which lead to a tour of the U.S.

After the break-up of that band, he formed The Bill Strecker Band, and while playing gigs in Florida, met his wife Peggy.

The two decided to head to London and do some recording on their own.

After about a year in the U.K., they returned home, wrote songs together, and William played clubs in New York as a solo act.

He studied Landscape Design, after tiring of playing the bar scene for so many years.

He started his own Landscape-Construction business, which proved to be a great success.

But a near-fatal car accident would change the course of his life.

He was injured so badly, he had to re-learn how to walk, talk and eat.

It was during his rehabilitation that he realized that as much as he loved the career he had built for himself, something was missing from his life.

He wanted to see if the magic of writing and performing music was still there.

He got back into music, while still running his landscaping business full-time.

He recorded his cd," Keep On Lovin", with some of the best musicians on the planet.

And you can hear the wealth of experience and his great joy of music in his soulful vocals.

You'll hear influences like Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Otis Redding.

I'm sure you will agree, that he still has the spirit and the magic of music, and like him, you'll be thrilled that he's back.
