Cyphersuit - I get that message with Firefox all the time. Try a different browser, that usually sorts it out for me.

I'll be quite busy for the next few days as we have people arriving today and I'm not sure I'll be able to further investigate on my side for the next couple of day as I first intended.

Scott, if you find out anything keep us posted please.

The vocal on the youtube video and the vocal on one of the songs on his site sure sounds like the same person. Very reminescient of the blue eyed soul sound so prevalent on this regions Beach music which certainly charted in the NY area in the 60's and 70's..
This more recent sounding song is from his site:http://www.ba-midi.com/music/files/vocals/2%29%20Billy%20Arnell%20-%20Hold%20The%20Light.mp3

Best,

The video is from the UK, so you're probably right, that's not our Billy.

Unless their is another Wigan casino in New york, also known as wigan pier here in Northwest UK, just 10miles down the road from me and was the most famouse Northern soul nights in the UK, so presuming there is only one wigan pier/northern soul nght like this anywhere in the world, so 99.9% safe to say this aint Our BA, But still I hope he is okay,i have had about three user names over the years since V6 (Never been banned mind you), and never really posted a great deal in the past, but Rest assured BA Was always their to give advice, and say it like it is,a Stand up guy.
I am always also on presonus forums, so will do a few searches for old posts etc, and check for his profile.

He is a fellow Nu Yawker, but I couldn't find any leads as to his whereabouts. I hope all is well.

Check your trash. Most emails don't just delete that easily. They simply move to the trash folder. Some email clients will then delete everything over a certain age etc though

Man, I hope he is okay and finds this thread to see how much ya'll care about him. There's a lot of love here. I'd kind of like to chat with him after seeing such high opinions of the man here. Cheers.

From what I recall, Billy is not a religious person. I remember him asking someone to please stop God-bless-you-ing him or something of that nature.

Sincerely hope to hear that he is OK.  There are a few forum members that have high credibility with the advice they give and he was just about at the top of the short list as far as I'm concerned.

Correct.   From what I can recal, Billy would have been more interested in Vodka.

Any new news on Billy? I've been thinking about all the help he has offered since I became a Sonar user (5 years ago now) and deeply hope he is well and doing his thing, just silently.

Nothing yet Im afraid. I had a few leads that came up short, so I hope we can get some information from a local NYC neighbor. A few things arent looking too good, but I am preying for the best and my friend Billy.

This is the last PM I got from Billy and I haven't heard from him since, although, I thought I saw a couple of posts from him...

There seems to be so little info on the net for "Billy Arnell".  Especially for someone who would be involved with business that thrives on communication and promotion like music.

Is "Billy Arnell" a stage name?   Does he have any family? Was he that much of a loner that there is so little info on him?  Did he have a profession outside of music?

Was looking for contact info for Steve Loeb as well, who was mentioned in that same article with BA... assuming it's the same BA we think it is. If they kept in touch he might know something...

I did receive a response from Lera Loeb pretty quickly, simply stating:

So... I think we're arriving at the harsh reality that our internet buddy has unfortunately passed on to a better place. Wish there was more info available.
