​Born in west Texas, grew up in East Texas,lived for brief times in central Texas, and then Illinois(got back to friendly "Tejas" as quick as I could);settled in the DFW 

" Metromess" for many years,but back to my east Texas roots to stay.I am a southerner and a Texas boy, born and bred.Will travel but won't move anymore from my beloved Lone Star state.

When I was 7, my Daddy stuck an old Harmony guitar in my hand and started teaching me chords so I could "2nd" to him playing old fiddle tunes.That started my love affair with the guitar,and trust me, I have owned more than a few in the  60 some odd years since that day I first wrapped my little fingers around the neck of that guitar( still own it),that still seems as thick as a    Baseball bat.I know first hand about the " Black Diamond Strings" that we bought in the variety store, because music stores in those days. were fewer and farther between😊 

​​​      The stagename "BosqueBill" was derived to distinguish between other Gene Hamiltons,and honors my mother who has a poetic side and grew up in BosqueCounty Texas;her daddy, A.P Mize,who sang old cowboy songs,and my Arkansawyer daddy,"Bill" 😊
