Bill Yaryan Photo Memorial Page

Picture



​Will Yaryan was a true renaissance man, who happened to spend the majority of his career in the music business...and we are all the better for it.  But for the past 20 years, he taught English to monks in Thailand at one of that country's major universities.  He was also an author, historian and philosopher.  And a loving husband to his Thai wife Nan.  And also a great and long-time friend to many of us from the music industry in the 70s.  He passed away from medical complications on March 19, 2021 in Bangkok, Thailand...his adopted home since 2001.   We will have a more extensive biographical section in the coming weeks.  (Note:  In America (particularly in the music biz), he was always known as "Bill", but when he moved to Thailand, he became known as Will.  This memorial page interchanges the names but he was the same great guy)
