Good Morning Friends,

I'm writing to you from the couch of a good friend in the beautiful locale of Charleston, SC. Spent a couple days off here in between tour dates and am quickly becoming a huge fan of this little city.  Anyways, I've got a spare moment before we take off up north to get right back into the shows, and even though I should definitely be up north to get right back into the shows, and even though I should definitely be using this time to change my guitar strings, I'd much rather write and say hello. (I might completely regret that after a couple broken strings tonight, though).  Anyways, here's some brief highlights from the first leg of our tour (more to come soon):

- Wearing the same clothes for like 3 days in a row...After many hours in a van, carrying   heavy gear, etc...  Dear Axe body spray.  Thank you for being you.

- Watching and getting to play with Slow Runner.  These guys are sick musicians.

- Watching and getting to play with Caitlin.  She'll definitely make you feel like less of a singer when she does her thing.

- An old (and super drunk) guy dancing right in front of the stage for a good chunk of my   set in Macon.  And then watching the same guy try to start a fight later.  Ah, Macon.

- 4 burritos, maybe 6 bags of Cheetos, granola bars falling upon my stomach like rain.

- Hanging out every night with the coolest fans in the world.  Seriously.  I don't know why  you guys are always so kind and supportive to me, but man it sure feels amazing.

- Drinking a red bull at 3:30AM to stay awake for my shift at the wheel...when it wasn't   my shift at the wheel.  (Then) Staying awake for hours in the back of the van hopped up on   red bull, when I could have been sleeping :)

Can't wait to get back out there. It's been amazing to see so many of you out at the shows.

I'll update again soon.  Lots of shows coming up.  

Here we come...

- William

 *Boston Herald Review Calls The Sparrow and The Crow "...a near-masterpiece"

Below is the Boston Herald review of The Sparrow and The Crow. Enjoy!

Powerfully heart-wrenching and yet so delicate you fear a breath might blow it right out of the CD player, singer-songwriter Fitzsimmons’ chronicle of his divorce is a near-masterpiece. Recalling both the cornhusker folk-rock of early Joe Henry and the doomed intimacy of Nick Drake, “The Sparrow and the Crow” makes art and beauty out of tragedy without selling the tragedy short - as you’d expect from a licensed therapist. It’s tough stuff, marred only by repetitiveness. But that does nothing to diminish Fitzsimmons’ artistic achievement, which is huge and lasting.
