Upon hearing of Billy's diagnosis, Nashville Singer, song writer Eric Horner was so moved by Billy, and his battle's, that after his visit with Billy in the Hospital in St. Pete., it started to rain. He wrote this song on the plane back to Nashville in 2003.
Eric and Debby (Erics Wife) had felt in their hearts that Billy would be just fine. Eric wrote, and dedicated this song to Billy! "No Need Lookin' Back"
Permission was asked for and givin, to include the songs "Billy Make's It Rain" and "No Need Lookin' Back" on this web site. Thank you Eric Horner Ministries.
