Father of Kenny and Ronnie Williams.

He worked as a furniture salesman in San Bernardino.

...he used to play 'bones' or 'spoons' in a minstrel show. To relive the golden days of yesteryear he would, from time to time, force his children to accompany him (Ronnie on guitar,

Kenny on trombone) in a living room replay of a minstrel routine called "Lazy Bones."
