over thirty five years, Bill has traveled back and

societies, colleges, concerts, clubs and
coffeehouses. A New England native, Bill became

hootenanny at the renowned Club 47 in Cambridge.
Bill quickly became a popular performer in the
Boston area. In 1971, after one of his performances,
a reviewer for The Phoenix stated that Bill was
"simply Boston's best performer." A decade
later, both in 1980 and 1981, the annual Reader's
Poll of The Boston Globe selected him as a favorite
performer. In 1991 , Bill entered his forth decade
as a folk performer with an international reputation
as an artist.
