When
you want something a little more, Bill asks other musicians to help him out.
Friends who have joined him for various performances sing and play many
instruments. Some of the folks who have performed with Bill have included Carol Ellis from Cuyahoga Falls specializing in
harmony vocals; Marilouise Zarnosky from Columbiana playing string bass, and
sometimes keyboard, hammered dulcimer, and harmony vocals; Marge Diamond from
Elyria playing mountain dulcimer and sings; Linda Sigismondi from Gallipolis
singing and playing lap dulcimer and guitar; Gary Deimling from Chardon playing
bass and singing; Gary Groh from Medina playing harmonica and singing; Isaac
Kirbawy from Akron playing guitar; Christin Keck from Kent singing lead and
harmony vocals, playing whistles, flutes, guitar and autoharp; Steve Harbert
from Kent playing finger style guitar and singing; Greg Candel from Brookville,
PA, singing and playing banjo and guitar; Rockin' Robin Montgomery from Kent on
keyboard and autoharp; Nancy Bird from Morgantown, WV singing and playing
autoharp; Mike Lindsay from Kent playing recorders and hammered dulcimer. Many
members of Dulci-More have also joined Bill
Schilling and Folks performances. They include Don Blair from Berlin Center
playing harmonicas; Connie Corliss from Salem, Donna Snyder from Salem, Ron
& Susan Hutcheson from Beloit, Harold and Mary Windram from Leetonia, all
playing lap dulcimer; Betty Onyett from Paris playing cello; Fred White from
Damascus singing and playing guitar and harmonica; and Pete & Emery singing
and playing mandolin and guitar with old-timey southern harmonies. Many others have joined with Bill since this
was written in 1998. Other updates will come along the way.
These
performances feature the same high-energy performances from Bill as his other
concerts, but add the chance to feature many more instruments and vocal
arrangements. Bill encourages audience participation even while others are
performing with him. There may be chances to feature specialty numbers
depending on who joins Bill on any given performance.
