I was fortunate to see Billy and the KRB several times while growing up in the Pittsburgh area. One hell of a singer and entertainer. Also saw Roy once at W&J college south of The Burgh. Great players. Not sure if Billy played with him at that show. Thank you for your writing and I'm a big ABB fan since I was in high school in the 70's
Great interview Alan, my wife & I were just dating when we first saw Billy & the KRB, 35+ years ago. I love that he still comes back to the Philadelphia area to perform. We just saw him this past August on the 24th & of course Billy obliged to get a picture with my wife & her girlfriends celebrating her 60th. Billy always makes time to talk to you before or after the shows a truly nice guy. I finish this article & see that you wrote Brothers & Sisters, which I just read over the Summer - a great informative read for sure. So happy I found this page.
Mom and I would go to the Pgh. Symphony and notice that Billy Price was playing that evening just up the street at Al Dowes jazz place. We would go there after the symphony to check them out.....outstanding. Loved his group. Dixie

Excellent all around, Jim. Thanks for the note.
Nice piece. From the title I thought it might have been about Danny Gatton
Right. I'm a MD boy... Gatton and Buchanan local heroes
Indeed.. so many similarities.
Thanks Paul. Roy's name is in the headline! Buchanan and Gatton quite similar in a lot of ways.
Thanks a lot for publishing this interview Alan
My pleasure Billy. I enjoyed it, and learned a lot.
Seems you have forgotten a few things🙈🙈
Fixed.
True! I haven't forgotten, but forgot to mention... Adding now!
great piece
