Happy St. Patrick's Day 2024 : Desi Wilkinson 3 reels on Bb flute

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2024

I haven’t seen Desi in a few years, maybe 5 or even 6, but I loved this track on his CD from 3 years ago, “Two For Joy”.
I met Desi in 1977 and he has been both a good friend and musical inspiration ever since. The music is accompanied by a few photos from trips to Scotland in the 1970s/1980s, a few “Cran” publicity photos, and the covers from some of the recordings Desi has made, all of which I recommend, and hope some of you may be inspired to look out for and purchase.
Several of the musicians in these photos are no longer with us, are greatly missed, but are not forgotten for the good times and the music we shared together.
