No articles on Bryson? For shame. I don't know if he will ever realize the impact that he had on Gainesville. I know that I owe some of the best years of my life to Bill and the Covered Dish. I basically met my wife there, found lifelong friends, Samantha Murrel and Dan "Crazy Carl" Murray got engaged there for crying out loud. And then there are all of the amazing bands that he nurtured and gave a home (and jobs) to. I haven't talked to Bill in years but I hope he knows how much he means to so many people.

hey aaron. bill provided a warm, safe place for music, encouraged musicians, venue for national bands, employment opportunities for the seemingly unemployable (or people who liked the bonus of getting paid to see bands) etc. and bill's just a cool dude.
