Ok, so I know that Billy Hill has expanded beyond the four originals and
is practically a franchise with a cast of players.
I was cruising the web, and found...
http://www.billyandthehillbillies.com/
...will redirect to here...
http://billyandthehillbillies.net/
...and that site only has the Marshall brothers. It says:
"This concert will feature John Williams “Billy” Marshall and Evan “Billy” Marshall and two of their hillbilly friends, performing many of their now famous Evan Marshall orchestral arrangements for hillbilly band and symphony orchestra, including Beethoven’s “Rage Over a Lost Penny”, and of course, “Roll Over Beethoven”, hillbilly style."
Somehow I get the feeling that their friends aren't going to be Kirk Wall
(Elvis Billy) and Dennis Fetchet (Old Fiddle Billy).
I also note that the new CD (available from www.cdbaby.com) entitled "I Want U 2 Want Me" is by 'The Billys', and not 'Billy Hill and the Hillbillies'? I really miss Evan's playing on the CD.
So what happened?? Did they original team lose the name 'Billy Hill and the Hillbillies' to Disneyland? Did Kirk and Dennis get kicked out of 'the band', and the Marshall brothers take the official name?
...did Yoko split up Billy Hill and the Hillbillies? Are we going to see a documentary, "This is Billy Hill"?
btw, note that the original Billy Hill album (brown cover) is no longer available, so keep your copy nice...
