Anyone who owns original Cooksey artwork is eligible to contact Wild Bill and Janae about bringing their masterpieces to Las Vegas and join in the Big Party!

Cooksey's success in promotion of the careers and projects of others, as well as himself, is due to his commitment and dedication to get the job done in spite of the obstacles and objections of the establishment. His determination, perseverance and hard work ethic combine with integrity to create new avenues to follow in his quest to reach the end of the rainbow for clients. His game plan is to do as much as he can alone researching and evaluating all of the options available for the success of the project. Once all of the information has been collected, Cooksey becomes the ultimate quarterback team player, directing and executing each promotional action with precise detail and yet with perpetual flexibility. Cooksey's clients can count on the confidentiality of his work with them. Just as speech writers and promotional staff members for professionals with high visibility like the President, CEOs of major corporations and entertainment figures, Cooksey will not reveal any information about his clients or their business for any reason without their total consent. Bill's "never give up" attitude and natural "bounce back" spirit makes sure the ship never sinks and turns the lemon experiences into champagne lemonade. With an entertainer's heart, Cooksey's communication skills break through steel doors and bring the message home to folks who do not wish to hear anything from anyone at anytime.

Some observers have labeled him as "Wild Bill" Barnum or "P.T." Cooksey.

Perhaps, Las Vegas' Dean of entertainment columnists and critics, Joe Delaney who has been on the staff of the Las Vegas Sun newspaper since the Sixties, TV and radio host for decades, producer/director of multitudes of community activities and special events and an instructor of a course in hotel entertainment at the UNLV's College of Hotel Administration for 25 years said it best in a recent letter about Cooksey's entertainment and promotional skills:

"To Whom it may concern:
Bill Cooksey came to my attention when he appeared in Las Vegas. THE FIRST ACT and ONLY act that I had seen other than SHECKY GREENE in New Orleans, circa 1952, that could go five and six hours non-stop and not repeat his material.

Cooksey is a person to person entertainer. He reaches and touches everyone in his audience.

I RECOMMEND HIM UNEQUIVOCALLY, AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMER IN ONE. I always look forward to his return performances in Las Vegas.

God bless!
