On the October 27, 2007 edition of Bill's Rock 50 radio show, a tribute was done to the late DJ Tawn Mastry. Tawn was an old friend of Bill's, and was influential in getting Bill's first solo album a lot of radio airplay in 1990.

In the June 2006 edition of his diary, Bill talks at length about a few topics:

* Updates on his radio show on what's coming, including some music from LunarMile; the band fronted by Toni-Marie Iommi

* Update on his column for Hails and Horns magazine

* Updates on Beyond Aston, uncluding some track specifics. One is named "Where You Are Is Not Forever". Bill does play drums on one song, that being "Poppies".

* Working on creating Beyond Aston from a technical and drumming aspect as well as going into some heavy detail on drumming issues.
