Billy Yeager is one of the few people that have been able to decode the secrets to the famous Coral Castle.
Billy Yeager was good friends with Jaco Pastorius who stated that Yeager was the greatest guitar player in the world.
Billy was discovered by singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby in 1991. In an interview with Miami New Times, Bruce Hornsby said (regarding the many demo tapes he received), "The bad news and sad truth is that most of them are really terrible. I've been inundated with them for years. Billy's is really different. It's possibly the only one I've ever heard where I thought, 'This is something.' Most of these tapes are so badly done. I mean, why don't they take more pride in what they are doing? Billy was different. Billy has songs that reach people."
