When was the last time a song really hit home with you ? Bill Pere is an award winning songwriter, performer and recording artist, known for lyrics that tell unforgettable tales of ordinary people who weave the tapestry of human experience. Bill's songs can stand alone as a musical experience, but there is always the important and subtle underlying message of social conscience that makes them touch you even more deeply. In High School My School, Bill's 10th release, 17 songs weave together to paint a hauntingly accurate picture of today's life in the halls and classrooms of America's schools. In 1 hour and 16 minutes, the feelings and events of the teen years are portrayed with musical power that complements Bill's lyrical artistry and his vocal delivery. All of these songs are based on actual accounts from the lives of today's teenagers. The project was inspired by the events that occurred at Columbine. Bill's guitar versatility is well represented by a variety of acoustic, electric, and Midi styles, backed by full band accompaniment. The vocal backing of the LUNCH Ensemble and the guest lead vocals by Kay Pere (who also wrote "Pebble"), Shauna Beth Mandleburg, and Chris Kauffmann add variety to the presentations, while Bill's arrangements bind them together with consistency. Overall, a musical experience that will touch you and leave a lasting impression. 17 Tracks, 76 minutes, LYRIC SHEET INCLUDED!

The three songs that make up "The American High School Trilogy", which includes Kay Pere's "Pebble", alone are worth the price. It is a rare portrait of teenagers looking down many paths trying to find meaning in their lives.Check out Bill's other releases like "Crest of a Wave," "Cityscape," and "New Day Coming Tomorrow"
