Bill Bernico Biography--Drums, Vocals & Bon Tempi Keyboards |
Bill got acquainted with Keith one night when his voice was so bad his gravel truck was recommended for a change of scenery. Before he knew it, it was 22 years later and he had seen just about enough. Bill's entertainment career began on July 17, 1955 (the same day Disneyland opened in Anaheim) when he sang "Happy Birthday" to himself on his 5th birthday in the back seat of his dad's Mercury. Featured in the Hollywood production of "November Children", Bill's part ended up on the cutting room floor only to be swept up by then janitor, Warren Beatty who turned the snippet of film into what eventually became "Balmy and Clod". From there he became a professional panhandler, begging as much as $1.38 in a single day on the streets of Hollywood before turning to porn films. Once held a job as a plumbing company dispatcher and talked with Michelle Phillips about her clogged drain. Recovered from the flash fire which took his hair *(see photo) Penned a few country songs , that he personally had a distaste for, but seeing it was asked for by the famous comedian "Joint" Buntly from the Flying Circus he felt obligated. Owned a guitar that was once owned by a friend of the guy who personally waxed John Fogerty's cousin's car. Played for the Polka Bandits under an anonymous filter. Long after a short rousing cheer his occupation was sidetracked to Sheboygan Wisconsin at a swank progressive video store where he met Moses Moto who turned out to be an atheist valve cleaner whose interests included batting cages on the Titanic. Had a brief affair with a homosexual body painter but missed his TP (tit patrol) so badly at gigs with Keith that he broke off the torrid affair. Spent every last dime on payments to affiliated charities of his own choosing. Put a bag over his head to stop a hip hop singer from making him belch pornographic mutterings about the Book of Ecclesiastes. Thanks you for the boil and the time it took to read this brief. Never to be taken seriously. |
