The music actually levitates the listener to other worlds. We are whisked away to Atlantis, and enjoy a bird's eye view of Cape Verde. We are treated to a Bedouin breakfast, before a walk through an idyllic mushroom forest.
Bio / Background
From 1994 to 2000, Billy traveled the world with his band The Forgettables through eight Armed Forces Professional Entertainment tours, entertaining American troops stationed overseas, and flying or riding in almost every US military conveyance imaginable.
Having been targeted by heat seeking missiles only once in six years during eight tours, Billy went to Nashville, and toured the United States with Outlaw Southern Rock bands.
In 2001, Billy returned to Seattle, where he began composing music for film, animation, video and games.
Billy composes for full orchestra, and a wide variety of other instruments, including the "odd digital" genre. His many styles include: Rock, NFL Sports, Futuristic Big Band Swing, Frogpad Loudhorn, Classical, House, Country, Middle Eastern Dance, English Lute Traveler, Horror, Suspense, Sci-Fi, and many original designs.

Billy Hale's Tales Thrice Travelled is pure gold!A Chord of Tradition wrote on November 30, 2007
Billy Hale's Tales Thrice Travelled stands among the best contemporary music CDs we have listened to in a long time! The music attracts your attention immediately as having a special quality. It is breathtakingly beautiful and simply fun to listen to. The CD's magnificent variety of songs and orchestration astounded us. It draws you in at once with the enchanting sounds of a solitary nightingale, whose liquid plaintive songs call to you from a legendary land now submerged in time. Then the enchantment of the journey begins. You are in the music's wake from then on. An ancient harp flows like the water of a magic fountain parting back the sea, and you are there standing on the threshold of a thrice greatest journey no longer in the foothold of time and place! The alchemy of this music begins to work on you. Captured by the wonder, you want to sing, you want to dance. If you ask us, there are few CDs that do what this one does. The entire CD is pure gold!
