RIP **George Winston** , a jazz / blues / folk pianist / guitarist / harmonica-ist. His album _Autumn_ was my introduction to “new age” music, I guess, and I’ve loved his work ever since. Fun fact, I got to see him in concert when he came to St. Louis a couple of years ago! I heard that he was coming, decided to buy some tickets, and got like 10. Took kids and person I was dating and some parents a couple of other adults too, it was a great time. He performed without shoes - socks only. I have a book of sheet music, and it is my wish to eventually be able to play each one of those pieces, though I don’t have any realistic expectations that I’ll do any of them any justice. here’s a great version of _Carol of the Bells_ from **December** which highlights several aspects of his play style - independence of melody and harmony, strong and sustained pedal, and eventually incredibly complex fingering.

RIP Piano Master. I’ve probably hear the December album \>100 times, starting from childhood and also using it as calming instrumental music while studying for exams. Here’s one of my favorite pieces he performed, the live video elevates how impressive it is, I got to see it live at a NYE concert many years ago.

That is awesome! Made my day. I can do the left hand of L&L or one finger of the right hand of L&L, but not both at the same time. Gonna start on two-or-more fingers of the right hand, next time I’m near a piano. All by ear, and it takes 30 minutes or so to get a few notes in a row correct. Yes, I’m that bad. ---

😢 That’s so awful. It’s such a dangerous sport. I can’t believe they didn’t used to wear helmets. But mountain descents can be so treacherous. Was it raining?
