## Personality

All audio recordings of William before his apparent amnesia, shows him as temperamental usually getting extremely angry and argumentative during high stress situations, usually with Felix. such as in Jingle Sessions where he swore at Felix repeatedly sarcastically calling him "Your highness" during a session he also made the nightmarish noise in the Showstopper's album to get back at Felix after getting mad.

## Videos

***THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS DISPLAY THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE VIDEOS.***

## Dee Die

Really great song. I spent a while trying to find this one on youtube, to no avail. These were made for a burger joint in Michigan, can't remember the name for the life of me, but here it is. I have a couple more of these which I'll be uploading.

## Too Bad

This ones a cover of a Doug and The Slugs song, which is weird considering the label it's on Private Stock supposedly went defunct in 78 while Too Bad came out in 80, oh well, it's another one from The Showstoppers, asked my wife about them and she says the burger join was called "Bon's Burgers", don't know if there's any more of these out there but I'll see.

## Try Again

Another Showstoppers, this one original, probably their best in my opinion.

## Slowly

I bought the 45 of this song along with the other singles that I've uploaded, as well as their LP, however as I said I sold it long ago, and sold the only tape I had to a kind gentleman.

## In Heaven

A warning that this demo mentions Heaven which obviously is a religious topic, so if any of you are affected by that stuff please be warned. I don't really remember where I found this one, I had an incident yesterday while I was gardening and I passed out for a little bit, I woke to find this song on the end of my Bon's Burgers tape.

## Baby Blue

A track from the LOST ALBUM that was supposed to be put out by around April 1982, yet never happened. From the quality I believe I might've recorded this off of a radio station, or even possibly from a tape of the album itself, if you can't already tell it's a cover of Badfinger's Baby Blue.

## The Ponzi's - Runaway

A track from a popular local garage band that was put out on our local label Breezy Records on April 15th 1969. It's a little retro with the vocals, but the arrangement with strings and acoustic guitar made it sound a little more modern than Del Shannon's 1962 version. My friend was the trumpet player on this track. He still won't shut up about it!

## Heroin

*Note: At time of writing this was uploaded 3 days ago*
I wouldn't call this a cover as much a recreation, it seems at though their lead must've taken a liking to Velvet Underground xD. Hope you all enjoy this one from my personal collection

## Somberine and Clean (1973 Demo)

The tape this was found on is newer, so I have no way of telling you where the original is. This is a demo of a song which as far as I am considered was never released, this was probably recorded for the Ponzi's debut album "American Dream" however I have no way of confirming this. Shame it never got released, could've been a hit in my eyes.

## The Ponzi's - Across The Universe

Finally found the cover for the first Ponzi's album! This track is from the master for said album, it's a cover of The Beatles' Across The Universe. Pay attention to the Mini Moog that was multi-tracked to make a faux-string sound.

## The Showstoppers - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend

Found in the stack of recordings I found, this appears to be a promo for a short lived record label!

## The Ponzi's - American Dream (Full Length LP)

The 1972 debut album from the Ponzi's is now archived for all to listen to! This is ripped straight from the original master that I found.

## Community Post

Thank you all for the wonderful support to the channel. I recently celebrated my 70th birthday. I had been told I was born in 1969, however I recently found out I was born in 1952!!! It's amazing how you can go your whole life unaware of things such as this! I don't have many memories of my childhood so this doesn't shock me. Thank you all for supporting the channel and I wanna give a good "shout out" as you kids call it to my crewmates I used to work with on the Arthur M. Anderson!!! I also have something planned for my wife Deb's birthday, check back on April 15th! - William

## Ponzi`s - Please Please Me (1983 Session)

The video has no description, although its ending shows William talking to an unknown figure although it is likely Felix Kranken.

## My Fav Bands

William list his favorite bands, in the middle without audio a picture of The Ponzi's is shown.

## Little Willy (Bon's Burgers Audition)

Sorry for the stock image of a cassette tape, my scanner broke. This is the tape that we recorded and sent to the Bon's Burgers guys. They were holding auditions for which group they wanted to record the music for the band. We through this demo together in one night with a 4-track TEAC reel to reel in my basement. Thankfully we passed and they let us record two albums with them. The first album was a flop in my eyes, we had no control over the sound as the folks who owned the restaurant wanted it to fit their specific sound. They even picked out the songs for us and we had little to no time to audition! With only a week to record it, it was a sloppy, uncontrolled mess of an album. Thankfully they gave us more control on the second (although it never saw the light of day). This tape (although rough) is very special to me, as it was my first time producing a semi-proper recording. I hope Sweet forgives me for my butchering of the vocals, haha!

## Bunny Smiles Jingle Sessions

Sessions from a Jingle that ended up not being used haha. We ended up rewriting it later.

## Alice McGrant - La Bamba

Alice was always better at us with synthesizers, she recorded this song in 1977 for the Bon's Burgers guys. She also did two others, one of which was written by one of the founder's wives. I remember she had a mini Moog and ARP 2600 for the longest time before getting the DX7 in the 80s (but everyone was getting those then)

## I just want you back

From the last sessions we recorded as a group. We couldn't afford any strings so we had to use synthesizers, thankfully the studio had recently gotten a new synth (I think it was called the synclavinet? All I remember is there being one knob and what felt like a million buttons haha) Alice really helped out on this track since she was the only one who knew how to use the damn thing!3

## The Ponzi's - I Miss You

Although lacking a description, the song repeats the phrase "Let’s go somewhere and chat" and "You know too where I’ll be at" is repeated a lot.

## Trivia

* Despite Martin Walls being a big fan of the television series *Breaking Bad*, Coker Easler, the person who runs the channel, has stated that the cover of Badfinger's "Baby Blue" was done as a tribute to his favorite band, not as a reference to the show.
