Straws Summer Pricing Now in Effect!
Posted on Jun.01, 2005 under Straws
Effective immediately, Bill has implemented special Summer pricing for Straws. The previous regular minimum of $35 has been lowered to $12.99 from June 1st through September 30th. If you can afford more than that, it would be appreciated, as the charities would benefit more, but if the $12.99 pricing can get you to donate when you couldn’t before, then by all means, do so.
Bill is doing this to commemorate the Summer Black Sabbath tour, so make sure and jump on this if you haven’t already got your copy of the Straws CD.

Hi Everybody.
It’s Bill here. First off, I want to thank you all for the support you’ve given me throughout the years. I love to play– whether it’s playing drums in Black Sabbath, making music with my own band or working with other musicians, period. Being able to do what I love for my whole life, pretty much, has been an honour and privilege.
When I started playing in Sabbath, there was an energy of truth about us. We believed in what we were saying, the music we were making and the lives we were living. As time has moved on, I’ve nurtured and tried to save a lot of what I learnt playing in Sabbath. During the more recent years at the Ozzfest concerts, I’ve found myself immersed in the musical rewards of playing in such a unique and devastatingly, powerfully effective Metal band. Sabbath have been, and are, my greatest teachers, and I am forever grateful for the musical journey so far.
Today, I love what’s happening in music. I’ve been given the rare opportunity to play bands I like – Classic and newer Metal – on our Rock 50 radio show. These bands energize me.
I am humbled to know many of you. Music lives and brings and maintains life. Music has always brought me through.
Stay strong, safe and live. Enjoy the site.
Long Live Metal.
--Bill Ward
