Shed some light

Can anyone shed some light on when he started drumming? What styles did he play beside rock?

Thanks!

Hi Folks, Bill did NOT play on any of Dean Friedman's albums. The guy who played IS also Bill Ward, although he more often goes under the name Billy Ward to avoid such confusion. (Although there is another, much-older Billy Ward, singer and pianist, of Billy Ward and The Dominoes fame.) Source of the info it definitely isn't 'our' Bill? Dean Friedman himself, posting on June 11th 2004 on his own website's chatroom to answer this very oft-asked Q. I can't put a link, as it is non-specific to that page, but go to Dean's official site, General Discussion Area and do a search. This mis-credit first appeared in BS fan-circles in Neil Hansen's excellent 'Killing Yourself To Die' fanzine. That also gave Rinky Dink And The Crystal Set as a credit. I've yet to disprove that but am working on it! Al (UK) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.217.240 (talk) 05:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Instruments.

Bill Ward can also sing. Vocals should be added to the list. AustinDeLarra (talk) 02:41, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Guidelines state that only the primary instrument, drums in this instance, be listed in the infobox. Anything else can be mentioned somewhere in the prose, which it already is. SolarFlash (talk) 12:51, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
