Born in Napa Valley, California, in 1962, Billy Hale has lived most of his life in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. With 30 years experience as a professional musician, Billy Hale has had an extensive career which includes several CD's, world tours, radio and television broadcasts, and teaching. His current CD, "Tales Thrice Traveled", is an exceptional example of Billy Hale's talent as the composer-protagonist "in search of himself exploring the musical globe." "This music is designed to transport the listener to other worlds. We are whisked away to Atlantis, treated to a Bedouin breakfast before a walk through an idyllic mushroom forest. After exploring the ancient wonders of the old world, we are offered a glimpse of another solar sytem among the outer, spiral arms of our galaxy...Back on planet Earth, the sun is barely rising, and our journey has just begun!" --Billy Hale
