Will"Sweet Potato" Yam
 |
In the beginning, there was a very, very low note, and
.... it was good. Mr. Will Yam likes to feel the music that he
plays and that is why he can so often be seen with his okole up against
his amplifier! Having studied Jazz Improvisation and Electrical Engineering
at the University of Michigan, Will can be a groovy cat, but sometimes
wanders away talking to himself. Will vehemently denies any alien-abduction
theories.
