Bill Staines
Bill Staines, left this life aged 74 on December 5, 2021, the result of very aggressive prostate cancer. Bill was proud to say that he had been a musician for 57 years, singing his songs and delighting audiences at colleges, clubs, and coffeehouses. He wrote and recorded too many songs to count and gained an international reputation as a gifted songwriter and performer. He played Corvallis many times to very appreciative crowds. https://www.fosters.com/obituaries/p0171017
