Notes about 'Whiskey': I forget the name of the movie, but when I was a kid, I saw a cowboy movie where the bad guy carried a Bible .

Notes about 'Whiskey': I forget the name of the movie, but when I was a kid, I saw a cowboy movie where the bad guy carried a Bible . It contained a hollow spot inside that was carved out - where he kept his gun. I sort of lifted that idea and wrote about someone toting whiskey inside their Bible instead. I know that there have been times in my life that I was so low, I thought maybe God himself couldn't even hear me.  This is one of those songs that I think we have all lived through at one point in our lives....or will.  No matter how much you try to forget something, someone, or both - sometimes your sadness gets the best of you.  I tried several different verses until everything just kind of fell into place at the last minute right before tracking the vocals.

It is one of the most beautiful things in the world. Just the varied sounds of these two lonely birds at night - with nothing else going on. One night while listening, the idea for a song popped into place. My thoughts immediately turned to a friend that we all lost a few years ago. A young gay man named Reginald McCord. He was a bright spirit whose warmth burned out way too soon. I dedicated this song to him. -Bill

A while later, I was lucky enough to have my version added to a popular playlist that is endorsed by Spotify. Now, the song has been heard by over 6 million listeners in over 130 different countries! So cool! - Bill
