William Fitzsimmons is one of the oddest people you will ever meet. Born the youngest child of two blind parents, William was raised in the outskirts of the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Due to the family's inability to communicate through normal visual means, William's childhood home was filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. The house was suffused with pianos, guitars, trombones, talking birds, classical records, family sing-a-longs, bedtime stories, and the bellowing of a pipe organ, which his father built into the house with his own hands. When his father's orchestral records were not resonating through the walls, his mother would educate him on the folk stylings of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Simon & Garfunkel.
Hi William, It was great seeing you in Manchester. And great to finally meet you. Many thanks to you and the band for such an awesome evening. Rory {BT}
Thank you for your Show yesterday in Berlin. I was the One who told you about this "Eurovision Song Contest" -like Boardgame where i sent in "Everything has changed". I'm glad that i could drew some Interest to you and your Music, because you are both awesome. Thanks for putting on that hell of a Show. Hope to see you back in Berlin as soon as possible.
Your music takes me to very soothing and creative places. It's very freeing, and I just wanted to say thank you very much for sharing your gifts with us all.
I'm really excited to get to see you on Friday in Manchester. It's the first time you've been North of London and close enough for me to come and see you. Next time you're in Europe please please come to Scotland. I know you'd be welcome.
