A beautiful auction purchase from the NBA this evening that I can’t wait to hang in our little shop museum in Lexington for life…! He will always be a Kentucky hero and legend and we certainly won’t be caught napping on having some great Otega Oweh items on display at the shop!!
With DeMarcus Cousins (the princesses favorite) and his son Luca! Going to be with John Wall at summer league tonight. Saw Tyler Herro and his mom! Great day of seeing all my guys!
Something New To Let You Know About
Dear Friends, Fans, Families, and people I’ve not met yet,
I’m announcing today somewhat sadly but nonetheless truthfully, that I’ve reached a place where publicly more and more I need to use a wheelchair, mostly in airports, or public events. I can still walk, let there be no doubt, but I can’t walk very far without needing to rest, meaning I need to sit down. We started using the wheelchair about 18 months ago, mostly in airports. I became 78 years old on May 5th 2026. I was a long distance walker, I’ve walked in many different parts of the world, and I’m still a drummer. I can still play pretty good for 78 years old.
My talents and ambitions, and my unyielding need to be artful, and to play drums, is still as strong as it was so many years ago now. I’m just saying if you see me in a wheelchair, I’m just catching a ride, I’m not in retirement or ill or giving up, or any of those thoughts that ignite when we see people in wheelchairs. I’m making myself public and transparent about my new transport, and letting you know I’m OK. If you see me in the airports or visiting friends in the music arenas or theatres say hi, I don’t bite, I’ll just look different, as pictured here. Much love to you all and I’ll keep rocking until I’m dead.
Rock forever and ever,
Bill Ward
And the secrets we hide, can be dangerous to our health, I’m letting transparency prevail, with love and progression.
Bill Ward
