Thanks for digging that up, Douglas.  The photo was from 1968, taken by a
mutual friend, Doug Cupples, who still lives in Memphis.  Bill is playing
his (then) new 9-ft. Baldwin piano, possibly the Aria from Bach's Partita
#4 in D-major.  Bill was the most interesting and influential friend I ever
had, but we're no longer in touch, except indirectly through friends.  The
last time I saw him was at the 1976 MoMA show mentioned in the Guardian
link posted by John. (Thanks, John)
