billy is now continuing the stella legacy by teaching in his father's drum studio and is also the author of two drum books "bill's fills - easy fills for the beginner rock drummer" and his newest sensation, and best selling book "the drummercise workout". you can see where his drumming takes him when you look at bill's photos starting in 1959 through the present, and even today mr. stella is still traveling the country playing with many renowned bands and performing drum clinics. the drum studio, now known as the drummer's workshop, is located at 39 school street, in the hudson section of plains township. if you are serious about drumming, contact billy angelo or tisha lee at (570) 822-4883.
Thank YOU to Mr. Max Furek for contacting me and quoting me in his newest book, "Somebody Else's Dream." The bands that he wrote about in this book were local to our area.
