William "Curly" Smith is a music industry veteran, dating back to the early 1970's. He was in a band called Jo Jo Gunne from 1972 to 1974 (they had a Top-40 hit entitled "Run Run Run"), and did sessions for Jay Ferguson (1979-80), Danny Spanos (harmonica, 1980) and Jeff Beck (1985), among others. He was introduced to Tom Scholz by David Sikes, and Tom hired him in late 1994 to replace former-drummer Doug Huffman. In addition to being a great drummer, he is a great singer (which allows BOSTON to perform rich four-part harmonies in concert!). Curly is now a full-fledged member of BOSTON.
