Poem of Remembrance.
#Veterans day
#Armistice day
November 11 th 2020
Speak honourably of the persistence
That vowed to right the undoing
Of humanity,
Remember, and try to embrace
The last kiss, the last fingertip touching,
Before the disassembly of the spirit
Be strengthened, at the coming home,
Without limbs, or a mind,
Hold them all tightly, with respect,
Wherever they reside, upon this earth,
Say thank you, with sincerity,
Let your tears, enforce the heartfelt alliance,
Be grateful in your warm beds
With your refrigerators, and cold water,
See them march now,
Into eternity, forever soldiers brave
Men and women, heralded now,
To rest in grace,
With the multitudes that came before,
Let them abide, in forevermore,
As brothers
As sisters
Glorious and whole again. Amen.

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
