AllenLowe Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have not heard from him, and he's also been absent from facebook - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) All signs of Bill on KBCS showlist, facebook postings, allaboutjazz postings seem to have ceased around April 20 from waht I can see. I can't find more, and also miss Bill and his good spirits. I've sent him an email, will let you know if I hear from him. Hoping for the best, but fearing the worst.

Van Basten II Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Miss him too, the fact he has similar musical tastes than mine made his posts quite relevant indeed. Edited August 7, 2011 by Van Basten II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocispepraluger102 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Miss him too, the fact he has similar tastes than mine made his posts quite relevant indeed. strangely the seattle area funeral homes now carry a listing for a professional engineer , william barton, 77 years old. i'm quite sure this is not our bill. http://www.legacy.co...l&pid=152892488 Edited August 7, 2011 by alocispepraluger102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 According to his bio Bill is 61 so that's not him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I seem to remember him mentioning he would be out for a while. Hands? I believe he wished me a happy earth arrival on FB April 30th. I too hope he's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 OK -- but let's be careful here about assuming that this is our Bill Barton or, if it is, that these charges are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsrus Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Shit. Larry's right. But obviously hope this isn't Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7/4 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I broke two elbows two years ago and it didn't keep me from posting on FB or here that evening. It was a couple of weeks before I could play with myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unk Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Thanks for that link (to the archival Organissimo forum post). I like it much better than my link, which I hope was an utterly irrelevant coincidence. "Our" Bill Barton does live in Kent. Yes, I was aware. I'd sent him some CDs, once upon a time.

Niko Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) here is an email from bill barton, written a year ago to the jazz programmers list where he says his address changes to 333 Summit Avenue in Kent, WA http://lists.jazzweek.com/pipermail/jazzproglist/2010-July/044984.html so name, age, city and the 333 (which is seen in the video) match... which doesn't mean he's guilty but which makes it unlikely it's not him; here it says William Barton aka blackbart2010 was arrested already in April http://mynorthwest.com/?nid=11&sid=524954 which matches his disappearance, here is the youtube channel of a guy calling himself blackbart2010 who likes Chris McGregor http://www.youtube.com/user/blackbart2010 and here http://www.justice.gov/opa/documents/indictment-blackbart-second-phase.pdf is more info if you want it...

king ubu Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Please don't take my comment as a verdict on what "our" Bill did or did not. The mere thought about what these criminals have possibly and likely done is making me feel sick! I'd honestly prefer living in a world were such things would never, ever, happen at all, it's utterly disturbing, no matter who did or does it, I just wish no one ever did even think of doing such things!

Chuck Nessa Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I have had exchanges with Bill Barton since the '70s - mail, phone, online discussion groups, facebook and email. This is not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Jesus. I sure hope it isn't him, but I guess it doesn't look too good. Not exactly the person I would expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
