Bill Woods is the co-host of Ten's Morning News. Woods used to be a stand-by host on Sports Tonight from 1996 until 2005. Woods is a anchor of Ten's Motor Racing coverage, usually airing on the Weekend.
Woods was a beloved figure among the musicians because, unable to win fame himself, he nurtured others' talent.
Woods was not from Bakersfield at all, but from the little town of Denison, Texas, where his father was a Pentecostal minister.
Woods, who played piano, guitar, violin (or "country fiddle"), drums and banjo, had a hit with Truck Drivin' Man in 1963, and was honoured in a song written by Haggard in the 1970s called BillWoods From Bakersfield.
BillWoods was born November 20, 1931, in Denton County, Texas.
Bill was a versatile musician, performing on piano, clarinet, tenor sax and tuba while serving as Drum Major and student conductor of both band and choir.
Bill was also elected and served as President of the Plainview High School student body his senior year.
