I remember Will Starr playing at Stonehaven town hall many times in the late 1940s ,he used to play a tribute to the 51st. Highland division with lights flashing to emulate gunfire and sound The Last Post. As an accordion artist I do not think anyone has ever come close to his standard of playing , may God rest his soul. S. Campbell.
A wonderful player and such a pleasant chap for a journalist to interview, as i did a couple of years before his death, when he told me all about his battle with alcoholism and how he eventually conquered it. A very modest, unassuming man. Willie Morrison
@@AllansStation By remarkable coincidence Will's cousin, regular army Sergeant Willie Starrs of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders was an instructor when I was a member of Glasgow University Officer Training Corps in the 1960s. He was remarkably good, and a veteran for whom I had the greatest respect, but had been demoted from warrant officer because he too had been a wee bit too fond of his dram. I and many others learned a lot from Willie Starrs, who had also served as a paratrooper. I wonder whatever happened to him?
Will Starr was always the best in my books as was Jimmy Shand...That was true musical enjoyment then and as it always will be remembered !

Worked for many years with Will, truly an exceptionally talented musician. He had a great sense of humour and was marvellous company.
