Hi BugleBoy,
I don't know what became of Billy Regis. At that time he didn't live in Vegas but came there from LA (I think) to do a lounge show. We rehearsed for about a week to do the show that featured him and his singer/dancer wife. For some reason, the show never got going and it was folded before we opened..
Billy was one of the featured jazz players with Prado and he had a nice fat sound. He played the recorded "Cherry Pink" solo that was used as a movie soundtrack. I don't know if he ever had any solo albums.
My old buddy, Luis Valizan who played lead on that was the impressive one! An incredible player! And a nice guy to boot!
John
