Bill seems like the sort of person who'd live in a huge toadstool, with windows in the stem and a chimney in the cap, and would emerge from it occasionally to impart wisdom.

I could listen to this guy for days and not get bored.
The way he still enjoys music while explaining and living in the magic of it is just so inspiring and wholesome.

Bill is a Renaissance Man. So talented, so funny, very intelligent and a lover of nature and animals.

Had the pleasure of seeing him do a show live a few years back. Massively talented and funny man. NO profanity whatsoever. Just talent by the bucketload.

My jaw has been dropped, and there is no picking it back up. This man is incredible. Love his comedy and only recently discovering he is a musical genius too.

Bill Bailey is an absolute genius.
His music skill is unbelievable and unmatched in my opinion.
Add that to his comedy and he is one of, if not the, best entertainers of the last 50 years.
Amazing.
LONG live Bill Bailey.

"Black Books" is my only exposure to Mr. Bailey and that was only a couple of years ago. I have missed a lot.
