Franklin Ross, founder and guitarist of the group, began his musical interests as a
child in Spain where he joined a group of students to play traditional folk music.
His musical influences are varied, ranging from pop to jazz to classical.

Many musicians have inspired Franklin to actually start a group such as this.
Among them are: The Cambridge Buskers: an accordion and flute duet that
performs classical music.  Kim Robertson a fine Irish harpist.  Peter Ostroushko
a virtuoso mandolin player. Also musicans James Taylor and Ry Cooder, so
thoroughly professional and impeccable taste both in their selections of music
and wonderful arrangements, have been great role models for Frank to have
enjoyed through the years.

The Street Minstrels have several CDs. Listen and discover
the quality and variety of music they can offer.
