Billy lilly

[pamela richardson]

I'm looking for a man named Billy Lilly who worked at Gibson for the longest time. He is one of the very few who truly knows French Polish and one of the best repairmen for any mandolin or banjo and I've lost track of him. Can anyone help please.
Thanks!!

There is a fellow posting here with the screen name "Big Joe" who works for Gibson's mandolin division. His real name is Joe Vest.

This link may or may not help you find him.
If anyone, he'd know the answer to your question.

Billy Billy Buyou, yep. That is him. He left us over a year ago and moved to Louisiana. The last I heard he was doing plumbing work. Billy is a great guy and we do miss him. We have a few in our repair department who can do anything Billy could do and a number of things he could not do. Still, I do miss our Billy Lilly!
