Bill Johnson January 24, 2010

Victoria blues legend Bill Johnson is the subject of today's update with some videos of then and now. During the 1980's Bill could be found at the local jams with his white Fender Stratocaster looking to "sit in" with anyone and everyone, just so he could play. We've had a 1984 Oly's Jam video on the website for a while but not everyone knows that Bill's in it. In 2007 Bill performed "Sweet Home Chicago" with his blues band at the Vancouver Island Blues Bash and that You Tube video is now on our Facebook Wall.
