Although the heyday of the Indiana Avenue jazz music scene in Indianapolis has been explored frequently – including on Hoosier History Live shows – one aspect is seldom discussed. What happened to the lives of the musicians during the 1970s, '80s and '90s? Where did they perform after the Indiana Avenue nightclubs closed? Those are the questions we will explore when Nelson is joined by a well-known Indianapolis musician and producer who worked with, was influenced by and befriended many of the jazz notables who, earlier in their lives, had performed on "The Avenue". The heyday of the Indiana Avenue jazz scene generally is defined as stretching from the 1940s through the mid-1960s. Bill Myers, 58, who is best known as a bass player (although he has played several other musical instruments), began meeting former Indiana Avenue headliners as a 12-year-old. He eventually went on to play an array of gigs with everyone from the legendary Slide Hampton (1932-2021) to saxophonist Jimmy Coe (1921-2004). Bill Myers thinks he has the distinction of being the only male to ever play bass with the popular Hampton Sisters after one of them, Virtue Hampton, their bass player, suffered a stroke.

Part 1: From the people who introduced “Frenchman's Guy” to the world, we had a chance to sit down and visit with Bill about the journey that led him and his wife Deb to one of the most famous stallions in the history of Barrel racing. 

Creator of McGee & Me and the Wally McDoogle My Life As book series, Bill Myers has added so much to the Christian media landscape over the years. Although Bill never wanted to get into TV or writing, he wanted to be a dentist but God had other plans! Throughout all the challenges along the way, Bill continues to lean on The Call's hit song 'I Still Believe' when in doubt.

Recently I was the guest on the podcast TonioTimeDaily hosted by Mr. Antonio Myers. He is a brilliant young black man with Autism and he wanted to be a guest on my show. I am happy to have Antonio as my guest and eager to explore the topic of autism and how it affects the black people in America. As a child, other kids tossed epithets my way “out in public” during middle and high school, such as “dumb,” “stupid,” “lazy,” even “retarded.” Once, someone told me that I should be “shut up in a basement.” My friends and I had to defend each other with words seasoned with grace because of the cruelty. I am considered high-functioning on the Autism spectrum. I was unable to speak until the age of four when I was in kindergarten and said my first words: “Stop bullying my friend.” “Educational experts” compared me to a vegetable and believed in the worst in me. I was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder and although I tried to attend my neighborhood schools, “it wasn't the best fit.” Most schools in the American education system and most jobs in the American work force can't service me well because of their lack of understanding of gifted extraordinary people such as myself. I am a high school valedictorian (4.0 in eleventh grade), college graduate (bachelors in Human Services and minor in Psychology, commencement speaker at the ages of 14 and 23, international traveler and I am a designated disability services provider by the DC Department of Disability Services. 1 year ago Inspired Choices Network "Being person-centered and being empathy-centered will go a long way to helping people with autism.

Bill Myers Inspires  Over the past year, we all have experienced great change. Change has happened at every turn from our political leadership to our racial awareness, to life on lockdown in quarantine during a global pandemic, to loved ones and friends who are no longer with us today. While this all may seem unusual, it is actually normal that change happens, continuously and constantly in ways we perhaps do not take notice of, but impermanence and constant change is both natural and normal. The biggest challenge we face is not getting stuck.

Bill Myers Inspires  Recently I was the guest on the podcast TonioTimeDaily hosted by Mr. Antonio Myers. He is a brilliant young black man with Autism and he wanted to be a guest on my show. I am happy to have Antonio as my guest and eager to explore the topic of autism and how it affects the black people in America. As a child, other kids tossed epithets my way “out in public” during middle and high school, such as “dumb,” “stupid,” “lazy,” even “retarded.” Once, someone told me that I should be “shut up in a basement.” My friends and I had to defend each other with words seasoned with grace because of the cruelty. I am considered high-functioning on the Autism spectrum. I was unable to speak until the age of four when I was in kindergarten and said my first words: “Stop bullying my friend.” “Educational experts” compared me to a vegetable and believed in the worst in me. I was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder and although I tried to attend my neighborhood schools, “it wasn't the best fit.” Most schools in the American education system and most jobs in the American work force can't service me well because of their lack of understanding of gifted extraordinary people such as myself. I am a high school valedictorian (4.0 in eleventh grade), college graduate (bachelors in Human Services and minor in Psychology, commencement speaker at the ages of 14 and 23, international traveler and I am a designated disability services provider by the DC Department of Disability Services. https://play.acast.com/s/toniotime-1  *Listen now on the Inspired Choices Network app!  https://linktr.ee/inspiredchoicesnetwork ~ More About Bill Myers Inspires ~  Emmy Award-winning actor Bill Myers is an accomplished actor, jazz musician, filmmaker, writer, educator, and speaker.
