Bill Thwing William (Bill) Thwing Johnstown, PA I started writing songs after I returned from Vietnam. I had played the piano earlier in my life and developed a clear ear for harmonics. This was further refined when I studied music at Bowdoin College where I was a member of the glee club, chancel choir and a close harmony singing group called the Bachelors. While in this group, I picked up the guitar, wrote some new arrangements of existing songs and did a little solo work. After Vietnam with this same guitar, I began writing songs as a form of PTSD therapy. Got so active in the anti-war movement while in theolgy school, that my wife and I fled to Canada where we pastored among the farmers and native people of Alberta and British Columbia. I continued writing songs about my experiences in those worlds while raising my family. After protecting those songs under copyright at the Library of Congress, I made up some demos and caught a bus to NYC where I tried to peddle my music with some high-powered citified record agents. I didn't get any bites and got discouraged when they told me to go to Nashville. I didn't have the time or the money back then to follow up on that advice, so I sat on those songs for years. Now in retirement, I've finally gone to Nashville in the hopes of getting my music out into the ears, minds and hearts of a whole different generation of young people. Remembering the advice of a close friend - "With God's help, all things are possible". I decided.....Why not?
