He has a wife and 2 teenage kids that he is constantly busy with, he helps his parents, works with the bands and record label, (recording, practices, setting up shows, going to the shows, promoting the bands, etc), goes to the big German music festivals,hosts a Friday night radio show (26 years now I believe), helps with a Halloween event that gives proceeds to charity, and now this; all while still working a full time job. I'm sure there are many things that I've missed too!
He's put together the "3rd Annual Iron Ingo Cleveland Metal Holiday Food Drive". He's gotten seven bands to play a totally free show, with only the request that attendees bring cash or food goods for donation. The proceeds go to the Cleveland Foodbank and Friends of the Cleveland Kennel. Yes you read that right. Heavy metal bands and fans getting together to help the needy, both two and four legged. The 80's had Bob Geldoff doing Live Aid and John Mellencamp doing Farm Aid, and now we have Bill doing Iron Ingo. It is truly an amazing thing. So much for that stereotype of a heavy metal fan, eh? Maybe we need an all Auburn roster cover of "Stars"?? naaaa hahaha
In out time of a shaky economy and high unemployment, more people than ever are having a hard time making ends meet, and need help. While there may be food banks all over the place, few are able to really keep up with the string of people needing help. It's people like Bill who step up to the plate and put together something like this to get them the help they deserve.
Bill is truly an inspiration with everything he does, and that's why I wanted to share this with this quick post. Check out the flyer, check out his (the record label) website www.auburnrecords.com, and if you're local, stop by the show! Kudo's to you Bill! You and this event are what it's all about.

An oil filtration machine is a crucial component in the process of refining and purifying various types of oils. This specialized apparatus is designed to remove impurities, contaminants, and particles from oils, ensuring that the final product meets high-quality standards. Operating on the principle of filtration , these machines employ different mechanisms such as mechanical filters, centrifugation, or other advanced techniques to separate unwanted elements from the oil. Whether used in the food industry to enhance the clarity and purity of edible oils or in industrial settings for the maintenance of hydraulic systems, the oil filtration machine plays a vital role in extending the life and efficiency of the oil. By effectively eliminating impurities, these machines contribute to the production of cleaner and more refined oils, optimizing their performance in various applications.
