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.

Hey William! Met you in Sandpoint Idaho this past summer, and just wanted to say that I've been listening to the Sparrow and the Crow nonstop for over a month now...and I am so thankful you made this album...it's really been helping me through a lot lately. Hope all is well with you!
had a dream last night that i met you, we went out to coffee at a place that had a ton of Christmas lights and then we went to a house party and we met each other's friends
Hey William, glad to hear the tour is going well. I replied to your last note, not sure if you've had a chance to read it. Anyways, for now, I wanted to let you know that I wrote about you in my latest blog...if you have a few spare minutes, please check it out. Just google 'secret agent mel' and there you shall find me. Hope to catch you next time you're in my neck of the woods. Cheers! Mel x
WILLIAM! I had a sultry dream about you last night! In the dream I was watching a new youtube video you posted for the Holidays. You opened the video singing/playing a classic Christmas song very sauve-like. You were all decked out in green and reds, as well as the background was Christmas decorated too. And you'd play a few bars, then you'd speak something in a sexy/charming way, then continue back into the song. OMG it was hilarious! But you def. pulled off the sexy, seducing Christmas video in my dream. Dreams should come true though, so I DARE YOU. <3sara
thank you so much for your concert in Leipzig. Your music means a lot to me - it calms me down, it makes me understand life... it's hard to explain what I want to say. Well, I guess that's why you're a musician and I'm not...
