"One of the favorite New England fiddlers playing today. Drawing with exquisite good taste from the traditional music of Cape Breton, Quebec, Scotland, England, Ireland and Shetland, George is in demand wherever the best dance music is desired. His wonderful respect for the strong, deep heart of the New England traditions are enhanced by his whopping sense of humor!" -Warren Argo, Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, Port Townsend, WA
"I didn't know you could do that with a jig!" -Karen Iglitzin, violinist, fiddler and violin teacher, Washington State
" I couldn't do what you do in a million years!" - Ed Ormond, former assistant principal violist, Cleveland Orchestra
"The best Leadbelly player I ever heard anywhere!" - Michael Cooney, veteran folk singer
"Wilson never ceases to amaze musically on fiddle and 12-string guitar, and he seems particularly at home singing the songs—and playing the role—of early Grand Ole Opry star Dave Macon, who combined sympathy for the lot of the common man with an overriding belief in laughter." - Mark Frost, The Chronicle, Glens Falls, NY
