During the late 1980's and early 1990's, holiday
party-goers and patrons of the finest shopping establishments
and special events in the Minneapolis and St. Paul,
Minnesota area (most notably Bandana
Square, Riverplace, St.
Anthony Main, The Conservatory,
and Mid-America Festival's variable-site Victorian
Christmas) became accustomed to meeting
The Minstrel, Craig of Farrington, wandering about with his lute
... welcoming them and fulfilling their requests for their
favorite Holiday songs.
Now, in the 21st century, "The
Christmas Minstrel"
is once again available
... to entertain your guests at end-of-the-year parties ... to
sing holiday favorites at special events ... to present
seasonal concerts ... to lead Christmas Carol sing-alongs.
His locale for November and December 2001 (and, for you early
planners, for the 2002 season as well) is east-central
Louisiana and the New Orleans area. Craig's
80 Favorite Holiday Songs - a
list of his available repertoire - can be found at the
bottom of this page. Anyone researching the music of
Christmas time and/or Songs for Winter Solstice will find it a
useful reference.
Craig at Christmas -
Faith and Mirth, an album of songs of the season
from earliest sources, (performed by Craig Merlin Broers and
engineered by Rick E. Gilmore at Makin' Tracs Studio in St.
Paul, MN in 1988) is still available [cassette only] for $10.00
plus $5 p/h.
