One of Craig's favorite ensembles is Windsong, a flute and harp duo featuring Leslie Gregory on harp and Craig on flute. Windsong is a wedding favorite around Sanibel, Captiva, Naples, and the greater Southwest Florida area. Below is a list of highlights from their repertoire, which are some of the most popular selections for weddings. If you have a favorite song that's not listed here, please contact me and I will be happy to arrange it for you. Selections marked with the MP3 logo were recorded live at a recent ceremony in the beautiful Resurrection Catholic Church in Fort Myers Florida, so you might hear applause as well as some background noise. Once you hear the samples, you'll agree that Windsong harp and flute duo is perfect for that extra touch of elegance for your event!
