Page Wilson - Nouveau Beaujolais

"Nouveau Beaujolais" was written by Page Wilson of Mechanicsville, Virginia and performed by himself and his band, Reckless Abandon "live" on their album "Bridge of Love" in 1999. Page's earthly ramble ended March 15, 2011 much to the grief and sadness of his many fans, friends, & family in the Richmond, Virginia area and on the music scene. Along with regular public performances around this town, he was a philanthropist of the most genuine kind, and gave much of his time and effort to those in need even if it meant sacrificing his own needs.

Page refused to bow to commercial radio and dedicated his life to entertaining and promoting the music and careers of famous, and more especially lesser-known musicians. His was a life of giving on so many levels, and he determined himself to make his living strictly by was of his music.

Page Wilson hosted and produced a long running radio show called "Out Of The Blue, Radio Revue on commercial stations and finally on our local public radio station, 88.9 WCVE. His show followed "Prairie Home Companion" and aired from 8:00-10:00pm EST and was the perfect fit for that slot. His down home style of communicating was soothing and honest, and I, among many local listeners and followers will sorely miss Page and his show.

Many blessings to your family, Page, especially Virginia Blue who grew up on the radio as you tucked her in at nine each Saturday evening from your kitchen in the Chicahominy swamp. We will miss you gumbo and your gracious hospitality as you invited us into your home every Saturday night.

Give my best to Buck Toad, and I promise to meet you again on the other side of the swamp one day.

Missing you so much already, Page,

Steve
