VIDEO: Hillmans in their Media room on sofa in front of
a wall of Chinese instruments, tapes, records and recording equipment.

BILL: Both my parents were musicians in the home
... they loved jams sessions and I guess they instilled a love of music.
SUE-ON: I took classical piano lessons for about seven years, I guess,
and sang in the church choir.
I used to watch Bill on TV with his show.
I got to know him through his sister and my brother
-- we were in  the same community.
Then when we got married,
it was matter of either I stayed home
or go along to dances and be bored or else get involved.
