I wrote a tune in honor of Bill, with Daithi Sproule’s admirable contribution,  and am messing around trying to post it to my music page. In the meantime, you can find it on the internet archive right here. The recording features Tom Schaefer on violin, Daithi on guitar and Laura MacKenzie on flute. Willie Murphy engineered and mixed the recording. Many thanks to all of them.

There will be a memorial service for Bill Hinkley at the Nicollet Island pavilion in Minneapolis, Wednesday, July 7th, 2010, from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m.

One of the difficulties the organizers of this event faced was finding a place big enough to hold all the people who loved Bill. The trade-off for having a lovely location with enough room is that it’ll be a catered affair, no potluck. However I have some friends on the Island, so maybe we can hang out on their front porches.
