George Winston is an old friend from my college days. He's mostly known as a new age or folk piano player even though he can play both guitar and harmonica relly well. He doesn't seem to have been changed one iota by his success. One thing that has impressed me is that in the programs for his concert he always devotes a page of two to listing his influences. His point is - if you like my music you really need to check out artists like Bola Sete, Professor Longhair, Fats Waller ect. And George usually arranges for a local food bank to collect donations and pass out information at his concerts. He's also made a point of recording and producing lots of CD's by Hawaiian Slack Key guitar players.
