Everything Possible by Bill McKinley

[The following liner notes are as they appeared in the original release of "Everything Possible" in 1992]

"I first heard Bill McKinley sing "Everything Possible" a little over a year ago. I was immediately captivated by both the beauty of his voice and the depth of his commitment to the lyric. Since then, I've heard him sing on many occasions. I never cease to be delighted by the breadth of his versatility and by his astonishing range. And Bill is not only a gifted singer; he is also a talented actor and a brilliant comedian. And he is a man of great courage. As an openly gay performer in an often hostile world, Bill sings the songs
that too few of us dare to sing.

But Bill's performances are about more than merely political correctness or dazzling vocalism; they are about communication. Gay, straight, black, white, man, woman, child-if you've ever been in love, if you've ever been shamed, if you've ever felt hope, if you've ever needed a friend, Bill's songs will speak directly to you. Just play this album and you'll feel what I mean. Listen to your heart.”

THANKS, TOO, to the talented composers and lyricists for their beautiful songs, and to the many artists who have inspired me, most notably Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, Michael Callen, Nancy LaMott. and Walt Disney.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend this album to your friends. However, if you copy it for them, you not only violate copyright laws (tsk, tsk). but you also deprive me (and the other artists and investors who derive their income from the sales ol this album) of our livelihood (double tsk, tsk). lt's already hard enough being an openly gay performer. PLEASE DON'T DUB! BUY MORE COPIES!!!!
