Perhaps the best way to describe lead singer and rhythm guitarst William Duvall of Alice in Chains is "percocious." William literally went rouge and took off a day from his pubic school to visit a much smaller and private school known as Horizons.
At Horizons he ran into teacher Lorraine Wilson. He recalls Ms. Wilson as a "combination of Joan Baez and Yoda" who could speak Navajo.
Listen to William recount how he parlayed part-time work into tuition, how Ms. Wilson changed his life, and how he explained his school jumping to his unsuspecting parents.
