Billy Cairns played at Livestock in 2007 with the band, Fourteen Feet. About his drumming; his whole body would sway with the instrument. He was like a blurry, loopy rubber man, dynamically pounding hard and soft hits in perfect time. His playing was a combination of God-given natural talent, superb rhythmic intelligence, and a huge heart.
Billy played on all the tracks of the Fourteen Feet album that was named in tribute to him, Stole Away..."The Billy Sessions". Prior to joining Fourteen Feet, Billy was well known for his many years of playing with the popular band, The Freelance Vandals. His pride, devotion, and love for his family were at the fore-front of his being. Billy Cairns is sorely missed, and will always be remembered.His spirit and talent
will be missed. |
