Billy Shelton

Sorry to learn that Billy Shelton is unwell. Jan D'Agostino Trapani recently posted the following on Facebook:  

My good friend and fellow performer Billy Shelton (The Spaniels) has been placed in Hospice Care in Indiana.

If you enjoyed Billy's singing and beautiful voice, I'm sure he would appreciate cards or notes from those who followed him during his long career, and the pleasure and positive demeanor he exuded.

His address is Billy Shelton, Dyer Nursing and Rehabilitation, 601 Sheffield Ave, Dyer, IN 46311. 

Let's make this a card shower.
