- Welcome to the NEW BillOrtiz.com
Hi Everyone- I'd like to personally welcome you all to my new website, designed by Todd Tate w/ FourFour.com. I look forward to updating the site with new stuff from time to time, such as blogs from the road with Santana as well as my band, video from back stage, new recordings, some fun pictures, and perhaps a few surprises.
I would also like to thank everyone for their wonderful support of my CD as well as my live shows- it's a real pleasure to play music for you and hear your feedback. All the best to you in 2010!
