Matt Rosinski Turns 21! - Last fall, the
masterful concertina musician, Matt Rosinski, celebrated
his 21st birthday in grand style. Check out the fantastic
concertina-shaped cake made by his Aunt Sandy. It
perfectly matches Matt's Star Concertina! What a shame to
cut this cake, but word is that it tasted as great as it
looked.
Happy Birthday to our friends Lester and Matt, and to
anyone else from the concertina fraternity.
