8 1/2 X 11 size, 74 pages, 36 illustrations, 4 full spreads...EACH BOOK AUTOGRAPHED

Not often do we find within a single book such rollicking, mysterious, educational, uplifting holiday fun for the entire family, but here it is aplenty, highlighting that irrepressible rascal known as Bill Willy the Wild.

Youngsters from preschool age to pre-teen will be riveted by Bill Willy’s shenanigans and schemes, sometimes ones that outsmart Bill Willy himself. Adults, including parents, will deeply appreciate the fine vocabulary words that are cleverly embedded in this exciting bedtime tale, and they will also appreciate the valuable life lessons learned by Bill Willy and his neighbors. Admirers of Huckleberry Finn will welcome a new millennium version of that unforgettable character…a version with quite a surprise twist.

This award-winning debut CD features 11 delightfully varied original tracks and Dusk's heartfelt cover of John Prine's "Billy the Bum." Seven guest musicians from half a dozen well-known bands and 6 solo recording artists join Dusk in a cavalcade of upbeat, eclectic music and humor that delights listeners of all ages.

Reviewers refer to Dusk's unique recordings as "StorySong Americana," a blend of tale telling to music, powerful vocals, varied musical genres, natural outdoor sounds, spoken asides, interwoven thematic elements, and ringmaster theatrics that tickle the funny bone while tugging at the heartstrings.

In addition to typical guitar, bass, and drums, Instrumentation on this album includes Dobro, Electric Piano, Charango, Tuba, Accordion, Pedal Steel Guitar, Saxophone, Mandolin, Harmonica, Udu, Bombo, Classical Guitar, Guiro, Sleigh Bells, and more!

A 16-page booklet is included with lyrics, background on each song, accompanying photos, and intriguing bio.
