My Lords and Ladies,
What do you get when you mix John Dowland, Celtic songs, and a heavy dose of Ian Anderson?
You get my new acoustic band "Minstrel & Company"
Comprised of 2 members from TaleSpin and a fiddler, we play songs of the renaissance, songs from the British Isles and mostly songs of Ian Anderson.
Please visit our site: There you will find our story, a video and two songs. We hope you enjoy them and humbly ask that you become fans. We welcome comments and your support.

Anybody in or close to the Danbury next week is invited to our grand debut at the Danbury Music Center on Main Street in Danbury on Oct 2. We will be playing many acoustic Tull songs mixed in with renaissance and celtic music. Its at 3pm and its free.
That's excellent, Bill! (I've already posted it to FB and youtube.) The vocals and instruments are crystal clear, and you have really nailed it.
I am sorry I missed your show in Danbury, which is not that far from the City. Next time you are playing that close, on a weekend hopefully, I will try my best to make it if I can!

Bill, I'm sorry to say that I can't make your December 4th show, as I have tickets to see the Shakespeare play Cymbeline that day. Hopefully next time, though.
In any event, I am sure we will meet soon, especially if you do a show with War Child, as you've been discussing with keyboardist Mike Grin, who I've known for over thirty years and is my best friend!
