He was quite an accomplished musician, and such a rare talent at that level.
I always thought it would be cool to have musical skills like that, walk into a Costco or a store of that sort when they promote pianos, and ask if I could try it out and bring the store to a halt.
It ain’t bragging if you can deliver the goods.
RIP, George Winston.

We were in a big guitar store on a Saturday when the place was crowded. He was testing a bottom of the line Telecaster for my son, and ended up playing all afternoon. But most places you don't have be that good. Most people see any public music as a gift. |
