Science Breakthrough Proves

Important Discovery

Procedures are now being developed for testing new applicants for musician openings at the Magic Kingdom.

Dateline,Disneyland-December 14, 2002

The scientific community today confirmed what Billy Hill lead, Billy Elvis has been telling us for years...that there really is "R&R" in their DNA.

The "R&R" in this case represents "Rock and Roll". Billy Hill DNA samples were used and examined to prove this claim.

In the magnified illustrations to the left research scientists, lead by Dr. I. M. Sane, finally proved what Billy fans had known since the Billies first sang together in 1992.

Billy Fiddle Wisdom

We've all heard Silly Billy Elvis tell us that his big brother, Billy is the only man to ask the question...Why is there an Interstate highway in Hawaii? Or why is there braille at the drive-through ATM?

But here's some more Billy Fiddle wisdom.....

* Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra?
* If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too?
* If you ate pasta and antipasti, would you still be hungry?
* Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?
* Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?

An Excellent Stocking Stuffer!

Billy sub and Barncat regular, Rick Dunham has a CD available called San Antonio.

In this reporter opinion, it is the best country style CD to be heard in a long time. Copies are available through Rick. Pop on over and pay him a visit at DCA and tell him the Billy Gazette highly recommended it.

CD's are $10.00 each. For more CD info, go to Jan's Barncats Page

Bizarre Photo of the Week

Little Sparky narrowly lost out in the open audition to perform at Disneyland in 1992. Looking for replacement entertainment for the Golden Horseshoe Saloon, Disney entertainment management decided to go with our heroes, Billy Hill and the Hillbillies instead. Little Sparky is pictured here singing his version of "You Ain't Nothin', But A Hound Dog. " He later went on to become famous as the writer of the all dog version of "Jingle Bells", that is a yearly Christmas favorite on local radio stations.
