Birthday and anniversary parties
Bill truly loves good old time music and usually throws in a waltz, schottische or a polka on the mandolin. He includes sing- along favorites like “Don’t Fence Me In,” “Home on the Range,” and “Goodnight Irene.” 

Picnics, fairs and craft shows
Bill’s music is the kind of music that can stay in the background, is nice to listen to but does not overpower conversations. Bill enjoys being a roving musician and interacts well with others. His unique combination of instruments lures in newcomers and they stay for the music. 

Family nights
Bill relates well to people of all ages and can gear his show for the whole family, from grandma and grandpa to the tiny tots. He’s adept at inspiring everyone to sing with sing along songs like “She’ll be Comin’ Round the Mountain” and “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” 

Christmas parties
Christmas is one of Bill’s favorite times of the year and he does a superb Christmas show which is always in demand. Bill’s CD, An Olde English Christmas has been a favorite since 1991.
