Bill Ward is my real name.  As my  handle indicates playing music with my Band Western lights is a passion of mine as is fly fishing, canoeing, kayaking and most all outdoor activities.  I live in Sacramento, am 62, a retired Civil Engineer with a wonderful wife, 3 kids and three grandkids.  I am a very blessed man. 

I have a handfull of pictures to share, My wife and I in our kayaks, we both have "fishing Kayaks" and beautiful wood strip kayaks made by her brother.  A photo of myself with my guitar and my band as well. 

I look forward to getting my kayak out fishing more and look forward to sharing, hopefully meeting and getting to fish with some of you.  Best Always,  "Bluegrass Bill"

Thanks GrumpyBass! 

I will be doing some scouting today checking out Rollins lake near Colfax for some bass fishing :)  Nice to see this group has music lovers as well as Kayak/fishing fans.  If there were ever any NCKA events that had a opportunity for music to be a part of them that would be a blast!  Here is another recent sample of music played by us in a trio format.  Have a great weekend everybody!
