You lead us through all the seasons of our lives. We still follow in these falls and winters and find peace in the falling leaves and snowflakes of our own lives. I find my peace in having had this music to sooth and comfort me for so many years.
Yes, RIP George Winston. I was saddened and shocked to hear. He brought so much beauty to this world through his calm playing of his beloved piano. 🙏❤️
this music takes me back to the fall of 1986 when I was on my honeymoon in new england-wonderful memories. too bad the marriage didn't last forever, but I do have some great memories of the good times and 2 fantastic kids from it. I agree with the others who talk about music being so important-it can truly heal a broken heart, and I couldn't live without music.
Thank you for your beautiful music... Love it so much. It makes my day so much easier and lovely and inspiring. Rest in Peace George Winston. I got my first album (Forest), bought it in cassette tape format in the 90s.
when I got home and this was playing we would stay on the porch because my dad was beating my mom we would close our eyes and listen because mom told us that as long as we let it take us away nothing would hurt us it worked thank you mr winston
My mom would play George Winston's Seasons for us kids, as long as I can remember. Decorating for Thanksgiving, gathering inside on a chilled evening, getting ready for the holidays...
I saw George Winston play at Lincoln Center back in the day. I was dating this post hippy chick and I was amazed when she arrived at my place and was incensed that I was not dressed properly for an event at Lincoln Center. After some back and forth, with me being obstinate in my attire, we ultimately attended the event. We get to our seats, lights go down and George Winston walks out on stage with no shoes, a flannel shirt and jeans. Ha. Great show and being vindicated didnt hurt....
I saw him about 1985 or '86 and remember him coming out dressed like that. Yeah, great approach. It was like, "Don't look at me. Listen to the music." Great artist.
AND I assume you and Little Miss Shallow are not longer an item - yes? Good on you if you answered in the affirmative. ~~~ I saw him decades ago in Cincinnati - same attire. He told us as he got settled in that his agent or someone told him ne needed to tone down his attire because he was too formal. :) I think he did something like rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and asked the audience - "So. What do you think?" Wonderful evening. "Colors/Dance" is still riveting. The man is a national treasure.
it's a wonderful melody that won't leave my mind even if I try to forget it From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵 Japan is yet winter but plum blossoms are in full bloom everywhere in Japan with spring in sight In mid-March the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom one after another everywhere in Japan .

Cuesta de creer, pero los ritmos y melodia que toca con el piano yo lo silvaba de pequeño, antes incluso de conocer este album.... Es increible y precioso
I share a similar story as @tomword. I was a young bride. I married a musician when I was 19. My husband went to Berklee College of Music and loved listening to George Winston, Will Akerman and Michael Hedges. We settled in Mill Valley, Ca. at the time and my husband played George Winston during those long beautiful afternoons. I remember looking out over the hills of Marin through the redwoods with Autumn playing in the background. I was in a wonderland as I watched the afternoons fade into dusk. My husband passed away 4 years ago and this music makes me wish for one more day with him -Just one day! This music really helped to shape me into who I am today.
Wish there were more women in the world with sentiments like yours. Your husband passed too early, but I bet he considered himself a lucky man to have you.
I'm ashamed to say I begged my wonderful man to open his eyes one more time eventhough he was in extreme pain. It was selfish but I couldn't stop the words from spilling out.
When my wife and I married we would relax after a long week, listening to this.I just looked it up on RUclips for the first time in so many years, I stoped listening to music when she passed away six years ago, It brought me back to a wonderful time, Unbelievably cried for I don’t know how long just listening reliving and loving. I guess I really needed that. Now I watch my grandkids so my daughter can finish college and I love my family so much but my Soul is so so lonely For just one day again, George Winston, fire in the fireplace, Glass of wine looking into eyes that make my heart jump and my body shake out of the love I see
Tom Word Dearest Tom, the process of aging isn’t for sissies. You just poured you heart out, and it was a beautiful story. My husband & I are in our early 70’s. We started dating at 15 & 17. Every day is a gift, and I’ll think about you and your wife, because one of these days it’ll be one of us... God’s Blessings
I agree whole-heartedly David! My high school art teacher, Mr cunningham, used to play this cd amongst george's others while we oil painted. I received the love of george winston from that point on and own all of his cds. It brings me back to 1984 when i play his music!
First heard George Winston’s music when I was 18 and now at almost 60 still enjoying it. Rest in peace George Winston and thank you for sharing such beautiful music.
I was blessed to have George accompany me on several songs and cover one of my songs on one of his albums. He was uniquely dynamic and his music will echo through the ages. God bless you my friend! You will be so missed
George’s arrangement of “Elements” is incredible; your original version is beautiful and moving, like his but in a different way. I was friends with George too and miss him so much. But I’m glad he’s resting.
Well, I am 84 and I just discovered this cd half-an-hour ago. And, yes it is addictive. I love it. I am glad I discovered george Winston's before I kick the bucket.
I am 69. I first heard it in 1981 and, until today, hadn't heard it since 1987. Won't do that again! lol! But, you know, it sounds so sweet now, would it otherwise have become tired and overplayed? Nah! Silly thought.
Same for me and my college girlfriend... Well I guess it was Keith Jarrett during college, but George Winston came along about the time of our first child and has been with us ever since. Gonna be 40 years this November, married to that girl..
In the mid 80s, fresh out of college, I was a Midwestern kid who moved out to Los Angeles for a job. I was dating a mesmerizingly beautiful Southern California girl. It was an exciting time of discovery for me: first job, first apartment, first time out on my own. Many nights, she and I would lay tangled up in bed naked, still glistening and breathless from intimacy. The windows would be open with the warm breeze rustling the curtains while this music played on KTWV. We were young and at the top of our game. Neither of us had bellies or wrinkles or life's troubles weighing down on us. Our lives were spread out ahead of us like presents under the tree on Christmas morning. No one could have convinced us that we wouldn't be young forever. That was 36 years ago. I'm now over 60. I have a wife of almost 30 years, and she is an amazing mom and grandma, and I love her dearly. I have long since lost track of my Southern California girl. In my memory, I can still see her eyes locked on mine in the heat of passion or out on the beach as the sun set. She was beautiful, we were young, wild and free, and life was simple. Life has been great and I wouldn't change a thing. But... given the chance, I would go back, even just for one night, to that cramped apartment in LA. naked and entwined with that girl who I don't even know anymore. This music would be playing, the window open, and the curtains moving gently in the warm breeze of my youth all those many years ago.
My father owned the George Winston albums when I was a child. I listened to them all growing up. I always played piano by ear; they bought me a used piano and I played these albums over and over until I could play these and several songs from his album Winter as well. That's how I learned to play. I listen to them now and get all the emotions! These albums were a big part of me.
My husband passed away 3 1/2 years ago and all these sad comments make me sad and nostalgic, too. We all used to just sit and listen to music in college; before videos, cell phones, noise. I miss those times. Seems we don’t even have time to put on an album and just listen anymore. I’m glad I saw these George Winston albums on RUclips and am able to enjoy his music.
I love this album. It reminds me of when I was young, sitting in the living room listening to music with my parents. Those were better days. They were both still alive, and still married. I appreciate this music, and will listen to this album until the day I die. And remember good times....
yes, it brings back some great memories...I remember hearing this when my beautiful and adoring wife would come into the room- topless and dancing in a very seductive way until we embraced, we'd open up a good bottle of merlot, and we would entertain ourselves as the misty night continued and the harvest moon gently peaked thru the dark, flowing clouds. We both knew that soon we would be together as one, hearing each others heart gently beating......and then I wake up and remember I need to put the steaks on the grill as the kids are getting hungry.
I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost
My wife died of cancer 2yrs ago she was a saint she had a 100 plus beutifull things inside and out everyone loved her she had a longline of people that wanted her to do work for them, when she passed the large funeral home filled up twice with so many to pay respect to such a wonderfull angel , I used to kiss the ground she walked on she was a true Christian/ wife. Our marriage was wonderfull she loved this music and here I'm here with her again . Thanks for sharing this girls with her and I. Peace to all in jesus!!!!!!!!
I have so many beautiful memories of sitting in my parlor floor brownstone apartment in Brooklyn, the snow falling and cabernet poured on a Sunday night, my love and I. This was our music and our time. All memories now, my husband passed in 2011, so young. Like many others, I have not played George Winston, until today. Now I find comfort in this beauty, and only love remains.
It was George Winston's music in headphones while studying, which got me through my college years. I had the great honor to see him live last night in Chico, for a concert benefitting the victims of last year's wildfire which leveled the nearby town of Paradise. It was beautiful.
January 1987 moving from florida to california and as i was driving cross country during the stark winter season i played a cassette tape of george winston his music made my trip easier remembering the good times and memories of my friends who i would sadly miss. my best friend rob was moving to texas by plane. i called him once i had been settled. his sister answered the phone and sadly said that he had caught pneumonia and passed away after 33 years i think of him from time to time thanking God for the gift of knowing a wonderful hunan being and friend Thank you george winston your music it is that special.
Yeah . My college years he reminds me of mine too . And my first job after graduating Listening to him always makes me want to improve my own piano playing .
Saw George live in Rhode Island back in the mid-1980's. Came out in bare feet and jeans. Awesome concert. RIP George. Your calming piano stylings still resonate with me today.
I kick off my pre-season, early, introductory Christmas music season with George Winston. It's a nice transition from regular music to the great holiday music that I start in the late fall.
RIP George. Your music was such a gift. A family friend purchased the piano he used to record this album and I remember sitting with it with such reverence. Thank you.
I entered the pathway to recovery October 1987, this was my soundtrack to a wonderful journey, I am blessed in so many ways. And this music is a transporter to those times where I was so unsure...life is difficult and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Peace brothers and sisters on your journeys and struggles. Remember the meaning of life is....that it ends. Embrace it all.
My November Guest My Sorrow, when she's here with me, Thinks these dark days of autumn rain Are beautiful as days can be; She loves the bare, the withered tree; She walked the sodden pasture lane. Her pleasure will not let me stay. She talks and I am fain to list: She's glad the birds are gone away, She's glad her simple worsted gray Is silver now with clinging mist. The desolate, deserted trees, The faded earth, the heavy sky, The beauties she so truly sees, She thinks I have no eye for these, And vexes me for reason why. Not yesterday I learned to know The love of bare November days Before the coming of the snow, But it were vain to tell her so, And they are better for her praise. Robert Frost
This is very nostalgic to me because my mom would play it for me so I could fall asleep when I was a small child. It gives me feelings I didn't even know existed.
@@rachels594 yes Rachel---judging by the comments I am seeing....most people hear need "Good Morning Starlight"...maybe some Jagger "Under My Thumb"....something that gets us going!
found this record on vinyl in 2011 in Berkeley California, for $1 in the bargain bin at Rasputin. Now it's my favorite instrumental record of all time. a dollar well spent.
This is so lovely. I used to try the lengthy hours long music but they were so repetitive that more really was not better. They are the past. But this album is a great length with such variety, it works splendidly. Namaste and care, mhikl
I came across George's music 5 days after my Mom died when I was 14. It moved me in a way that I cannot describe except that it's part of my soul now. I listen when I am happy, sad, anxious, scared, upset, angry ... it will always relax and calm me ... and always helps me clear my thoughts. RIP GW - thank you for giving us all something intensely special and personal in your music.
Saw him in concert here in Oshkosh at Opera House and despite the pain he was in because of his cancer challenge, that did not stop him from putting on one hell of a show. Thank you George for everything you have done in the last 50 years. Best to you and family. Jim
I played this George Winston on my cassette player it was 1982 at ft. Jackson South Carolina while in the Army barracks on guard duty boot camp. His music to my ears gave me hope and saved my life. Thank you George!🤗
my mother always had a love for George's music. this album, and winter. i must have heard it a lot in the crib, and even before. now 25+ years later, and i still enjoy it better than almost anything. about to have my first child too, and going to raise them right, listening to this. way to go, on raising your boy right. give him a CD or something, i promise he might just cry hearing it again if its been a while.
I was searching through the internet and my grandma says “Can you play music on that thing?(referring to my phone)” I say “Whatcha wanna hear?” She’s says “ Play... Autumn By George Winston” *plays it* “This takes me back to that time” she says quietly.....The cutest thing 💝
That is so sweet. The power of music--different tastes for different ears, all helping us to feel connected in some way to places, times, others, ourselves.
For anyone here with anxiety, fear, stress, or depression, I want you to know that you are not alone. We all go through difficult times in our lives, and it can sometimes feel as though we'll never get back to normal. But we will overcome all the difficulties.
I am 5 months from being 70 this’ll be a special time for me the rest of my life. The mother of my children passed away September 23 2019 I just found this music , I usually listen to my Pandora Jazz station today I was just thinking I wish She had listened to this with me. There was SO MUCH left unsaid. She was funny like that, she loved gardens, nature, silence and solitude were her forte.
I just came across this ..I listen to George Winston often... Paul Cardall is great too... I feel your emotion...she may have passed but never ever will be truly gone...you will see...I wish I could ease your sorrow. Close your eyes ..take in the moment. Notice something beautiful each and every day... promise ! and smile at someone..even if it is just you in the mirror! or just stand in the sun ..feel the sun and smile... there is no full comprehension of this life on earth...you will never get over loss...only go through its phases... my prayers for you and your family. Many blessings dear one✨
Your words bring tears to my eyes. You had something very beautiful with her...just like this music. It is very fitting that she should hear this music with you. Likely she is listening from the other side, still loving you.
Mr. Lopez, I am reading your comment today, September 23, 2020. I just wanted to say, I understand the loss of a loved one. I am sending you all that is good, comforting and healing at this very moment. I hope on some level you are able to feel it. Wishing you a peaceful heart. Blessings, Valerie in Colorado
I've been listen to this album for nearly 40 years. My appreciation of it grows exponentially each new fall season when I again put it on for the first time. It is transcendent art.
The Fall is also my favorite time of year! I love the color changes, the new crispness in the air after the heat of summer, the deer coming down out of the hills in the early morning or late evening, now that it isn't so warm, the changing position of the sun out my window, all just before the blanket of snow comes to make everything quiet and clean again! I love spring with all its new life, but for some reason, Autumn remains my favorite, no matter what part of the country i am living in when it happens! I lived by the ocean for years, but I live in the mountains now, where the colors are so much more apparent, and I love it!
This album pioneered the minimalist piano genre, and in my opinion, it has never been surpassed in terms of its depth, originality, complexity, and mellifluous harmonies.
I first started to listen to George Winston in the 80’s in NYC, my children grew up with him and his album “December” is the epitome of the Winter holidays for us. Today I’m retired and living in the Caribbean but find myself still listening to George Winston.December will always remind me of NYC.
I discovered George Winston when I was 6 years -old dancing ballet in my living room. His music brings me to a place of comfort and joy. Long live ART and the HEALING that comes from true creation !
I learned to play this entire record, by ear. My mom had gotten tired of hearing it 30 million times and was going to tell me to turn it off, when she discovered it was me i was 12 at the time.
What a coincidence. My mother found me playing by ear when I was 12 too. She had to take me to the doctor for stitches. Seriously, el., I hope that your unique talent has led you to wonderful places. We were too poor in the 50's for a piano, so it's a joy when I hear of a person like you. El
So she never heard you practice it? Never heard your practice any part of the "entire album" until you had it perfect such that she thought it was Winston she was hearing, having heard him "30 million times," though it was YOU? She never heard you getting better and better, closer and closer, such that she had to pause and ask if it was live or memorex? Hmmmmm......... But please DO post a video of you playing it! Would love to hear you.
I have listened to George Winston for countless hours. Sometimes brings me back to a college relationship in fall of 1986. Haunting, painful and beautiful all at the same time.
I was trying to remember when I discovered George's music...could be when I became a single parent with 2 toddlers, looking for peace and quiet...could be from a music store in my town, I love music. I don't know, but I'm glad I found his music as it calms me.
My 4th grade literature teacher loved George Winston and his music dearly. She would always put on his music as we were working on assignments, and this album, along with Forest and his Christmas album, were the ones that stuck with me throughout the years, and every so often, I'd come back and revisit his music. I should have come back much more than I did, and I regret not further supporting him while I could. He was one of the most underrated artists of his time, I'd say. Every piece of his is beautiful and emotionally provoking in some way or another. Rest in peace, George Winston. Thank you for everything.
I got this album in 1982. It rocked my adolescent world. I would put the record on, sit in my room, and do homework. It soon became my "go to" album for falling asleep. Longing/Love will always hold a special place in my heart - reminds me of my first crush. In 1986 or 1987 Alex Kerr and I went to see him at the Kennedy Center in DC. He wore his trademark flannel shirt and socks. When the lights went up for intermission at least half the audience was asleep. It was really bizarre thing see a sea of adults sleeping in the majestic Kennedy Center. I guess they had the same Pavlovian reaction to George "bedtime" Winston as me. One of the great ones.
Jonathan Singer I have seen George Winston 3 times in concert. Absolutely love him! I have been disconnected from music (unintentionally) and decided to listen to George this week. It has been like getting reacquainted with a good friend! So many wonderful memories come flooding to my mind with his music. And he is so humble!!!!
In the autumn , the plaintive chirp of the transient life's autumn insects permeates our Japanese hearts from 1000 years ago . We feel sad and get wistful in Japanese autumn . The row of ginkgo trees will look like the yellow carpet by falling leaves , and the forest of the maple will be covered with the red carpet by falling leaves . From chaotic Tokyo of the Land of Rising Sun .
Me, at 14 years old. I would listen to this over and over & share it with a selected few, people I trusted deeply. My kids listen to this & similar when they sleep & rest... They're teens now.
I'm reminded of a comment in the movie "Field of Dreams" George Winston's music reminds me of all that has been good in this Country and can be again. I've been listening since the 80 (s). The Fall this year is so beautiful despite covid. Cheers to y'll!!!
I played December in the dining room in my parents house 40+ years ago. My Mom sang along to "The Holly and the Ivy ". Alzheimers has taken her voice. I play "Autumn" as I drive down to my Father's condo at Thanksgiving. The music is still the same, beautiful, but not much else is. Forever Changes.
I lost the love of my life 10+ years ago. This haunting melody sustains me, and I envision a reunion on the other side. The yearning is captured beautifully in this piece.
I find this album the most melancholy sounding of all George Winston's albums. There's something about the chords that makes me ponder roads not taken, regrets, uncertainty for the future. I think the title of the album is apt because autumn is a time of transition from the vibrancy of summer to the dormancy of winter. The autumn of our lives can be a time of uncertainty, but then again, so can our teen years. I remember the first time I listened to this album in a dark basement in my college years. I've often wished someone would set this album to video, but I'm afraid it would come out mostly sad. The one notable happy break for me is in Colors at 12:37 where I can envision white birds flapping their wings. Awesome stuff though. I was fortunate to see him once in concert in his flannel shirt.
The second time that my husband and I saw his concert in Cincinnati, we wondered whether he would be wearing a new flannel shirt. Rest in peace George.
George Winston evokes nostalgia of the days of my youth, listening to "new age" music in high school when everyone listened to british bubble gum pop. I was more introspective about life back then, every day lasted. Now 25 years later life goes by so fast without the pause to appreciate it...
This music helps me get quiet so I can just listen and appreciate what Music and Nature is to me, which is God. Before I found my Higher Power... it was music or nature. I would just feel serene when I was on a walk and listening to his music and letting it all sink in. Now it all fits together. Thank you so much for your wonderful music George!
I've seen him in concert four times and each concert was perfection. The crystalline quality of his notes. the evocative moods of his music. I will always relate to him to my late father as they were from the same "stomping grounds" as Dad would say. "Thanksgiving" makes me think of my father every single time. Very emotional song for me.
これを聴きながら寝ていたら 短い恋愛の夢を見た。目がさめたら しみじみとひたってしまった。せつない。 While I slept as listening this album, i had short romantic dream. After i woke up, i had very sentimental feelings indeed. It was a bitter -sweet experience of my own .
My phone started playing this album spontaneously yesterday w/o ads. Ok. I'm listening to George Winston now. Thank you phone. The album I didn't know I needed.
Music is one of God's gifts he's given to his children for our enjoyment! It's one of those things that help us ,in the world we live in, it lifts us when we are down, it helps us remember we are slive!
It is beautiful Autumn and Long/Longing in particular: love; I continue to recommend to it those that want to hear the best in music. I love this album and George's playing all these years later. Wonderful...xoxoxo
an overcast day, a thunderstorm with the rain, sitting before an open fire at night, all of these moods are captured by the music of George Winston especially this autumn album. Sweet peace and calm overwhelmed our spirit when we listen to his genius in piano and pianissimo.
I've loved this album for 30 years. I've had many wonderful nights with a good glass of brandy, soft lighting, pen & paper with the world shut out while listening to this.
@@williamgilley7061 LOL! I had the urge to listen to this tonight and this is the first I've seen of the comments. Back in the day before email, I had to actually write to friends that i moved away from and this always put me in a good, nostalgic mood.
This was one of the albums my dad had on his cd rack. We were never close but I went through all his music and fell in love with this album. He passed unexpectedly and I have no idea how to even start thinking about what he meant in my life. But I do know that I will always have his music.
Winston is a favorite since back in the late 80s at college in the US I would buy too many of his CDs. This reminds me of Rhode Island in the fall. Greetings from Kenya
Just the perfect soundtrack to enjoy autumn foliage in the New England states! Congrats to you for this great experience I once was able to enjoy, too.

70 years old and I'm just hearing this artist,Mr. Winston your a God send to the music world❤.
You lead us through all the seasons of our lives. We still follow in these falls and winters and find peace in the falling leaves and snowflakes of our own lives.
I find my peace in having had this music to sooth and comfort me for so many years.
Smooth Jazz and slow New Age like this are my drug, this kind of music makes life feel like a dream.
Rest in Peace George Winston! Thank you for all the wonderful music you gave the world.
Yes, RIP George Winston. I was saddened and shocked to hear. He brought so much beauty to this world through his calm playing of his beloved piano. 🙏❤️
RIP. What a treat to hear you play.

Just reading some of the posted remarks here. GWinston's music has touched many in a very personal way. Beautiful...
this music takes me back to the fall of 1986 when I was on my honeymoon in new england-wonderful memories. too bad the marriage didn't last forever, but I do have some great memories of the good times and 2 fantastic kids from it. I agree with the others who talk about music being so important-it can truly heal a broken heart, and I couldn't live without music.

Michele: What a beautiful comment. I'm reading it in 2019 and hoping you are living a good life. And that you are happy.
The music is just as peaceful as the photographes,a nice touch
Thank you, Mr.Winston❤.
I used to fall asleep to this and now my 10 year old does. Thanks for helping him fall asleep peacefully☺️
Thank you for your beautiful music... Love it so much. It makes my day so much easier and lovely and inspiring. Rest in Peace George Winston. I got my first album (Forest), bought it in cassette tape format in the 90s.
when I got home and this was playing we would stay on the porch because my dad was beating my mom we would close our eyes and listen because mom told us that as long as we let it take us away nothing would hurt us it worked thank you mr winston
My love let me know about this music. I am simply lucky when listening to it. Thanks for such beautiful present.
My mom would play George Winston's Seasons for us kids, as long as I can remember. Decorating for Thanksgiving, gathering inside on a chilled evening, getting ready for the holidays...
This will always remind me of Mpls., Mn. when I lived there in the early 80's; great memories.
I saw George Winston play at Lincoln Center back in the day. I was dating this post hippy chick and I was amazed when she arrived at my place and was incensed that I was not dressed properly for an event at Lincoln Center. After some back and forth, with me being obstinate in my attire, we ultimately attended the event. We get to our seats, lights go down and George Winston walks out on stage with no shoes, a flannel shirt and jeans. Ha. Great show and being vindicated didnt hurt....
He is my inspiration for my upcoming new age album..
I saw him about 1985 or '86 and remember him coming out dressed like that. Yeah, great approach. It was like, "Don't look at me. Listen to the music." Great artist.
Ah, but how many in the audience were dressed like he was😄?
AND I assume you and Little Miss Shallow are not longer an item - yes? Good on you if you answered in the affirmative. ~~~ I saw him decades ago in Cincinnati - same attire. He told us as he got settled in that his agent or someone told him ne needed to tone down his attire because he was too formal. :) I think he did something like rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and asked the audience - "So. What do you think?"
Wonderful evening.
"Colors/Dance" is still riveting.
The man is a national treasure.
it's a wonderful melody that won't leave my mind even if I try to forget it

I share a similar story as @tomword. I was a young bride. I married a musician when I was 19. My husband went to Berklee College of Music and loved listening to George Winston, Will Akerman and Michael Hedges. We settled in Mill Valley, Ca. at the time and my husband played George Winston during those long beautiful afternoons. I remember looking out over the hills of Marin through the redwoods with Autumn playing in the background. I was in a wonderland as I watched the afternoons fade into dusk. My husband passed away 4 years ago and this music makes me wish for one more day with him -Just one day! This music really helped to shape me into who I am today.
Wish there were more women in the world with sentiments like yours. Your husband passed too early, but I bet he considered himself a lucky man to have you.
Same here my husband and I used to listen to this my love passed over a year ago I miss him so much
My sweet wife passed away 21 years ago, and it has taken me all time to find another dear woman to be my bride. I'm introducing her to GW now!
I'm ashamed to say I begged my wonderful man to open his eyes one more time eventhough he was in extreme pain. It was selfish but I couldn't stop the words from spilling out.
me too
When my wife and I married we would relax after a long week, listening to this.I just looked it up on RUclips for the first time in so many years, I stoped listening to music when she passed away six years ago, It brought me back to a wonderful time, Unbelievably cried for I don’t know how long just listening reliving and loving. I guess I really needed that. Now I watch my grandkids so my daughter can finish college and I love my family so much but my Soul is so so lonely For just one day again, George Winston, fire in the fireplace, Glass of wine looking into eyes that make my heart jump and my body shake out of the love I see
Don Burrows I am so sorry to hear that my friend and am glad you have these memories
Tom Word, stranger to me, I'm going home and hug my wife today....what a great description of love you gave for your wife. Prayers for you.
Beautiful
BLess you
Tom Word Dearest Tom, the process of aging isn’t for sissies. You just poured you heart out, and it was a beautiful story. My husband & I are in our early 70’s. We started dating at 15 & 17. Every day is a gift, and I’ll think about you and your wife, because one of these days it’ll be one of us... God’s Blessings
George Winston's music takes me back to a very specific place and time in my life. I will listen to him for the rest of my life.
I agree whole-heartedly David! My high school art teacher, Mr cunningham, used to play this cd amongst george's others while we oil painted. I received the love of george winston from that point on and own all of his cds. It brings me back to 1984 when i play his music!
Exactly the point I was making in my long comment you said it's so much better than I did 👍
Rest In Peace! What a brilliant musician! Saw him eight times! A joy every time.
First heard George Winston’s music when I was 18 and now at almost 60 still enjoying it. Rest in peace George Winston and thank you for sharing such beautiful music.
I was blessed to have George accompany me on several songs and cover one of my songs on one of his albums. He was uniquely dynamic and his music will echo through the ages. God bless you my friend! You will be so missed
George’s arrangement of “Elements” is incredible; your original version is beautiful and moving, like his but in a different way. I was friends with George too and miss him so much. But I’m glad he’s resting.
I used to listen to this album, some 30 years ago. After all this time I still love it!
what's not to love?
Well, I am 84 and I just discovered this cd half-an-hour ago. And, yes it is addictive. I love it. I am glad I discovered george Winston's before I kick the bucket.
I am 69. I first heard it in 1981 and, until today, hadn't heard it since 1987. Won't do that again! lol! But, you know, it sounds so sweet now, would it otherwise have become tired and overplayed? Nah! Silly thought.
Rodrigo i like your comment
Yes, I am, I am. Thank you very much and all the best for you.
Very happy for you !
I’m glad you like George Winston’s music. I listened to him since I was a child.
This was make out music for me and my high school girlfriend. We are still together 33 years and 3 kids later. Still love it
Same for me and my college girlfriend... Well I guess it was Keith Jarrett during college, but George Winston came along about the time of our first child and has been with us ever since. Gonna be 40 years this November, married to that girl..
In the mid 80s, fresh out of college, I was a Midwestern kid who moved out to Los Angeles for a job. I was dating a mesmerizingly beautiful Southern California girl. It was an exciting time of discovery for me: first job, first apartment, first time out on my own. Many nights, she and I would lay tangled up in bed naked, still glistening and breathless from intimacy. The windows would be open with the warm breeze rustling the curtains while this music played on KTWV. We were young and at the top of our game. Neither of us had bellies or wrinkles or life's troubles weighing down on us. Our lives were spread out ahead of us like presents under the tree on Christmas morning. No one could have convinced us that we wouldn't be young forever.
That was 36 years ago. I'm now over 60. I have a wife of almost 30 years, and she is an amazing mom and grandma, and I love her dearly. I have long since lost track of my Southern California girl. In my memory, I can still see her eyes locked on mine in the heat of passion or out on the beach as the sun set. She was beautiful, we were young, wild and free, and life was simple.
Life has been great and I wouldn't change a thing. But... given the chance, I would go back, even just for one night, to that cramped apartment in LA. naked and entwined with that girl who I don't even know anymore. This music would be playing, the window open, and the curtains moving gently in the warm breeze of my youth all those many years ago.
Wow, that was almost poetic to read. You’re a lucky man.
My father owned the George Winston albums when I was a child. I listened to them all growing up. I always played piano by ear; they bought me a used piano and I played these albums over and over until I could play these and several songs from his album Winter as well. That's how I learned to play. I listen to them now and get all the emotions! These albums were a big part of me.
Nice!
That's beautiful Pennylane.
Now that I'm older the sounds of the piano puts me at ease. That's the music I really Love.
Omgggg me too!!!!!! Everything! That's so cool.
this man is a genius
My husband passed away 3 1/2 years ago and all these sad comments make me sad and nostalgic, too. We all used to just sit and listen to music in college; before videos, cell phones, noise.
I miss those times.
Seems we don’t even have time to put on an album and just listen anymore.
I’m glad I saw these George Winston albums on RUclips and am able to enjoy his music.
My husband passed away 2. Yes ago... we both loved George Winston and was so sad to see he had passed away.. what an amazing talent...😢
I love this album. It reminds me of when I was young, sitting in the living room listening to music with my parents. Those were better days. They were both still alive, and still married. I appreciate this music, and will listen to this album until the day I die. And remember good times....
yes, it brings back some great memories...I remember hearing this when my beautiful and adoring wife would come into the room- topless and dancing in a very seductive way until we embraced, we'd open up a good bottle of merlot, and we would entertain ourselves as the misty night continued and the harvest moon gently peaked thru the dark, flowing clouds. We both knew that soon we would be together as one, hearing each others heart gently beating......and then I wake up and remember I need to put the steaks on the grill as the kids are getting hungry.
@@johnalexander4654sir you should have been a book writer on personal experiences.
🙏 May he be at peace and rewarded for the immense joy, beauty and solace he brought into the World.
I shall be telling this with a sigh,
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
Me too! No regrets.
My wife died of cancer 2yrs ago she was a saint she had a 100 plus beutifull things inside and out everyone loved her she had a longline of people that wanted her to do work for them, when she passed the large funeral home filled up twice with so many to pay respect to such a wonderfull angel , I used to kiss the ground she walked on she was a true Christian/ wife. Our marriage was wonderfull she loved this music and here I'm here with her again . Thanks for sharing this girls with her and I. Peace to all in jesus!!!!!!!!
This gift
Amen amen! Glory to GO.D! Hallelujah hallelujah! 💛🤍
My mom and I always play this album during the autumn season, especially around Thanksgiving. I just LOVE George Winston's music!!!!
I have so many beautiful memories of sitting in my parlor floor brownstone apartment in Brooklyn, the snow falling and cabernet poured on a Sunday night, my love and I. This was our music and our time. All memories now, my husband passed in 2011, so young. Like many others, I have not played George Winston, until today. Now I find comfort in this beauty, and only love remains.
It was George Winston's music in headphones while studying, which got me through my college years. I had the great honor to see him live last night in Chico, for a concert benefitting the victims of last year's wildfire which leveled the nearby town of Paradise. It was beautiful.
I was there as well. Memorable. Best show of the year so far. Although I'm seeing Leo kottke next month in Carmel. Should be sick as well. 👌🔥
January 1987 moving from florida to california and as i was driving cross country during the stark winter season i played a cassette tape of george winston his music made my trip easier remembering the good times and memories of my friends who i would sadly miss. my best friend rob was moving to texas by plane. i called him once i had been settled. his sister answered the phone and sadly said that he had caught pneumonia and passed away after 33 years i think of him from time to time thanking God for the gift of knowing a wonderful hunan being and friend Thank you george winston your music it is that special.
Yeah . My college years he reminds me of mine too . And my first job after graduating
Listening to him always makes me want to improve my own piano playing .
So hauntingly gorgeous...makes me want to cry, but cry with happiness. Autumn's promise of winter lurks, but the golden light of October still shines.
look up "october sun" by daniel elder. it will change your life.
Saw George live in Rhode Island back in the mid-1980's. Came out in bare feet and jeans. Awesome concert. RIP George. Your calming piano stylings still resonate with me today.
Such a beautiful artist, I too had the pleasure to see and hear his music in Michigan. He wore jeans, and old plaid shirt and socks! Great evening...
The same. Only in Portland Oregon. Just amazing.
I saw him also in Boston Mass. Believe it was 1992. Love this man and his music. RIP George Winston!🧡
I hope you're reading this from the afterlife. Thanks, George and RIP
I kick off my pre-season, early, introductory Christmas music season with George Winston. It's a nice transition from regular music to the great holiday music that I start in the late fall.
Very cool
RIP George. Your music was such a gift. A family friend purchased the piano he used to record this album and I remember sitting with it with such reverence. Thank you.
I entered the pathway to recovery October 1987, this was my soundtrack to a wonderful journey, I am blessed in so many ways. And this music is a transporter to those times where I was so unsure...life is difficult and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Peace brothers and sisters on your journeys and struggles. Remember the meaning of life is....that it ends. Embrace it all.
My November Guest
My Sorrow, when she's here with me,
Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
She walked the sodden pasture lane.
Her pleasure will not let me stay.
She talks and I am fain to list:
She's glad the birds are gone away,
She's glad her simple worsted gray
Is silver now with clinging mist.
The desolate, deserted trees,
The faded earth, the heavy sky,
The beauties she so truly sees,
She thinks I have no eye for these,
And vexes me for reason why.
Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow,
But it were vain to tell her so,
And they are better for her praise.
Robert Frost
Lovely & visually stunning poetry by Frost. How appropriate, thanks for posting!
muy hermosa la musica
De acuerdo. La musica y la poesia
Music stirs the soul as poetry....simply feelings expressed in different gifting. We are blessed recipients!🥰
This is very nostalgic to me because my mom would play it for me so I could fall asleep when I was a small child. It gives me feelings I didn't even know existed.
That is so sad yet beautiful. My heart hurts from memories sometimes. Bitter sweet
@@rachels594 yes Rachel---judging by the comments I am seeing....most people hear need "Good Morning Starlight"...maybe some Jagger "Under My Thumb"....something that gets us going!
found this record on vinyl in 2011 in Berkeley California, for $1 in the bargain bin at Rasputin. Now it's my favorite instrumental record of all time. a dollar well spent.
George Wnston "Autumn" and "Winter" albums. My favorites for relaxation forover a decade
This was and remains an extraordinary work of art - at any time of year. Thank you, George Winston and Windham Hill.
I am listening to George Winston's Autumn and there is a thunder storm outside...I am in heaven!
사계 여름
This is so lovely.
I used to try the lengthy hours long music but they were so repetitive that more really was not better. They are the past.
But this album is a great length with such variety, it works splendidly.
Namaste and care,
mhikl
Heaven indeed! Truly lovely....
@@78redcat Summer in Korea?
I think I am in love . 🎶
I came across George's music 5 days after my Mom died when I was 14. It moved me in a way that I cannot describe except that it's part of my soul now. I listen when I am happy, sad, anxious, scared, upset, angry ... it will always relax and calm me ... and always helps me clear my thoughts. RIP GW - thank you for giving us all something intensely special and personal in your music.
Saw him in concert here in Oshkosh at Opera House and despite the pain he was in because of his cancer challenge, that did not stop him from putting on one hell of a show. Thank you George for everything you have done in the last 50 years. Best to you and family. Jim
I played this George Winston on my cassette player it was 1982 at ft. Jackson South Carolina while in the Army barracks on guard duty boot camp. His music to my ears gave me hope and saved my life. Thank you George!🤗
I used to rock my baby boy to sleep to George Winston....he’s 18 now! Hearing it brings those precious moments right back to me!☺️
Great story
my mother always had a love for George's music. this album, and winter. i must have heard it a lot in the crib, and even before. now 25+ years later, and i still enjoy it better than almost anything. about to have my first child too, and going to raise them right, listening to this.
way to go, on raising your boy right. give him a CD or something, i promise he might just cry hearing it again if its been a while.
I feel that I have known George Winston all my life. His music fills my soul with happiness.
I was searching through the internet and my grandma says “Can you play music on that thing?(referring to my phone)” I say “Whatcha wanna hear?” She’s says “ Play... Autumn By George Winston” *plays it* “This takes me back to that time” she says quietly.....The cutest thing 💝
That is so sweet. The power of music--different tastes for different ears, all helping us to feel connected in some way to places, times, others, ourselves.
I'm reporting this for being too sweet to bear...so sweet!
Some day maybe you’ll be that sweet grandma, too.
So cute! 😍 Your story proofs once again that music has no age at all!
For anyone here with anxiety, fear, stress, or depression, I want you to know that you are not alone. We all go through difficult times in our lives, and it can sometimes feel as though we'll never get back to normal. But we will overcome all the difficulties.
Yes, it’s the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Life is eternal.
I am 5 months from being 70 this’ll be a special time for me the rest of my life. The mother of my children passed away September 23 2019
I just found this music , I usually listen to my Pandora Jazz station today I was just thinking I wish She had listened to this with me.
There was SO MUCH left unsaid. She was funny like that, she loved gardens, nature, silence and solitude were her forte.
Sorry for your loss. The pain gets less with time, but you will always remember her.
I just came across this ..I listen to George Winston often... Paul Cardall is great too... I feel your emotion...she may have passed but never ever will be truly gone...you will see...I wish I could ease your sorrow. Close your eyes ..take in the moment. Notice something beautiful each and every day... promise ! and smile at someone..even if it is just you in the mirror! or just stand in the sun ..feel the sun and smile... there is no full comprehension of this life on earth...you will never get over loss...only go through its phases... my prayers for you and your family. Many blessings dear one✨
Your words bring tears to my eyes. You had something very beautiful with her...just like this music. It is very fitting that she should hear this music with you. Likely she is listening from the other side, still loving you.
Mr. Lopez, I am reading your comment today, September 23, 2020. I just wanted to say, I understand the loss of a loved one. I am sending you all that is good, comforting and healing at this very moment. I hope on some level you are able to feel it. Wishing you a peaceful heart. Blessings, Valerie in Colorado
Much love to you Mateo. May you be blessed.
I've been listen to this album for nearly 40 years. My appreciation of it grows exponentially each new fall season when I again put it on for the first time. It is transcendent art.
Listening in Autumn 2020 watching the colors change, the leaves fall and the days growing darker...
The Fall is also my favorite time of year! I love the color changes, the new crispness in the air after the heat of summer, the deer coming down out of the hills in the early morning or late evening, now that it isn't so warm, the changing position of the sun out my window, all just before the blanket of snow comes to make everything quiet and clean again! I love spring with all its new life, but for some reason, Autumn remains my favorite, no matter what part of the country i am living in when it happens! I lived by the ocean for years, but I live in the mountains now, where the colors are so much more apparent, and I love it!
This album pioneered the minimalist piano genre, and in my opinion, it has never been surpassed in terms of its depth, originality, complexity, and mellifluous harmonies.
Definitely, and those who have tried it after him end up coming off insincere anyway.
DECEMBER just as Good ! I love both. Saw him do both in 1985-86
RIP George Winston ❤. Your music makes my heart rejoice.
Almost beautifully painful in its reflection. I've never grown tired of its pathos. sombre, joyful and full of remembrance
I first started to listen to George Winston in the 80’s in NYC, my children grew up with him and his album “December” is the epitome of the Winter holidays for us. Today I’m retired and living in the Caribbean but find myself still listening to George Winston.December will always remind me of NYC.
Yet another SAAB story.
I discovered George Winston when I was 6 years -old dancing ballet in my living room. His music brings me to a place of comfort and joy. Long live ART and the HEALING that comes from true creation !
I also have memories of dancing to this in my childhood living room. Xo
The gift of George Winston and his music warms my heart and soul a feeling that life will never be the same without JORGE JORGE
I learned to play this entire record, by ear. My mom had gotten tired of hearing it 30 million times and was going to tell me to turn it off, when she discovered it was me i was 12 at the time.
Congratulations! What a wonderful achievement. You have a gift.
You ever get into his work with Frank Zappa? Really wild music, highly technical.
What a coincidence. My mother found me playing by ear when I was 12 too. She had to take me to the doctor for stitches. Seriously, el., I hope that your unique talent has led you to wonderful places. We were too poor in the 50's for a piano, so it's a joy when I hear of a person like you. El
Chuckles . Thanks for sharing .
So she never heard you practice it? Never heard your practice any part of the "entire album" until you had it perfect such that she thought it was Winston she was hearing, having heard him "30 million times," though it was YOU? She never heard you getting better and better, closer and closer, such that she had to pause and ask if it was live or memorex? Hmmmmm......... But please DO post a video of you playing it! Would love to hear you.
For the last 35 years, my ideal dinner party has been myself, Bob Ross, Fred Rogers, and George Winston.
This is my favorite album of his. Been a huge fan since the 80's. This soothed me to sleep many nights during some rough times.
Ginger me too
Ginger Rushing mwe
me too... discovered in late 90s.. my sister was having health issues but introduced me to it. so fond memories, but a tad bittersweet as well ...
Me too! When I was a college student,"longing/love”gave me happiness and relaxation.
I have listened to George Winston for countless hours. Sometimes brings me back to a college relationship in fall of 1986. Haunting, painful and beautiful all at the same time.
+John Budway "Haunting, painful and beautiful all at the same time." describes this album perfectly. Thank you.
+John Budway Same here - even though it was almost 30 years ago, sometimes it hurts to listen to this beautiful music by George Winston :(
yup
I was trying to remember when I discovered George's music...could be when I became a single parent with 2 toddlers, looking for peace and quiet...could be from a music store in my town, I love music. I don't know, but I'm glad I found his music as it calms me.
My 4th grade literature teacher loved George Winston and his music dearly. She would always put on his music as we were working on assignments, and this album, along with Forest and his Christmas album, were the ones that stuck with me throughout the years, and every so often, I'd come back and revisit his music. I should have come back much more than I did, and I regret not further supporting him while I could. He was one of the most underrated artists of his time, I'd say. Every piece of his is beautiful and emotionally provoking in some way or another.
Rest in peace, George Winston. Thank you for everything.
ha...love this. More teachers need to do this.
I got this album in 1982. It rocked my adolescent world. I would put the record on, sit in my room, and do homework. It soon became my "go to" album for falling asleep. Longing/Love will always hold a special place in my heart - reminds me of my first crush. In 1986 or 1987 Alex Kerr and I went to see him at the Kennedy Center in DC. He wore his trademark flannel shirt and socks. When the lights went up for intermission at least half the audience was asleep. It was really bizarre thing see a sea of adults sleeping in the majestic Kennedy Center. I guess they had the same Pavlovian reaction to George "bedtime" Winston as me. One of the great ones.
LOL same here! sleep, homework, reading, everything!
PeeDub CeeUnited Yup :-)
AMEN ...I CANT SAY ANYTHING MORE....SIMPLY THE TRUTH!
Jonathan Singer
I have seen George Winston 3 times in concert. Absolutely love him! I have been disconnected from music (unintentionally) and decided to listen to George this week. It has been like getting reacquainted with a good friend! So many wonderful memories come flooding to my mind with his music. And he is so humble!!!!
DeAnne Grove I had the exact same experience :-)
In the autumn ,
the plaintive chirp of the transient life's autumn insects permeates our Japanese hearts from 1000 years ago .
We feel sad and get wistful in Japanese autumn .
The row of ginkgo trees will look like the yellow carpet by falling leaves , and the forest of the maple will be covered with the red carpet by falling leaves .
From chaotic Tokyo of the Land of Rising Sun .
Me,
at 14 years old.
I would listen to this over and over & share it with a selected few, people I trusted deeply. My kids listen to this & similar when they sleep & rest... They're teens now.
Wow!
I'm reminded of a comment in the movie "Field of Dreams" George Winston's music reminds me of all that has been good in this Country and can be again.
I've been listening since the 80 (s). The Fall this year is so beautiful despite covid. Cheers to y'll!!!
I played December in the dining room in my parents house 40+ years ago. My Mom sang along to "The Holly and the Ivy ". Alzheimers has taken her voice.
I play "Autumn" as I drive down to my Father's condo at Thanksgiving. The music is still the same, beautiful, but not much else is.
Forever Changes.
Music like George Winston's always seems to tug on my heart strings to a point where my tears effortlessly fall.
Went through a tough time a couple of years ago. This music was what kept me sane during those trying times. I'm a huge fan of his music.
I lost the love of my life 10+ years ago. This haunting melody sustains me, and I envision a reunion on the other side. The yearning is captured beautifully in this piece.
I find this album the most melancholy sounding of all George Winston's albums. There's something about the chords that makes me ponder roads not taken, regrets, uncertainty for the future. I think the title of the album is apt because autumn is a time of transition from the vibrancy of summer to the dormancy of winter. The autumn of our lives can be a time of uncertainty, but then again, so can our teen years. I remember the first time I listened to this album in a dark basement in my college years. I've often wished someone would set this album to video, but I'm afraid it would come out mostly sad. The one notable happy break for me is in Colors at 12:37 where I can envision white birds flapping their wings. Awesome stuff though. I was fortunate to see him once in concert in his flannel shirt.
A flannel shirt? Cool!
the first song is simply as good as music gets
Wearing just socks?
VERY well said
The second time that my husband and I saw his concert in Cincinnati, we wondered whether he would be wearing a new flannel shirt. Rest in peace George.
今でもずっと聞いてるし、これからもずっと聞くんだろうな
ジョージのご冥福をお祈り申し上げます
George Winston evokes nostalgia of the days of my youth, listening to "new age" music in high school when everyone listened to british bubble gum pop. I was more introspective about life back then, every day lasted. Now 25 years later life goes by so fast without the pause to appreciate it...
Gordon Chow I hear you. I also bought LPs from the 'New Age' section as a teenager when my mates were buying U2 and Madonna
It’s never mind how much falls gone away we always return there... in our world where we were child when such music is sounded ...
Our Memory appreciates our Time given us by God
This music helps me get quiet so I can just listen and appreciate what Music and Nature is to me, which is God. Before I found my Higher Power... it was music or nature. I would just feel serene when I was on a walk and listening to his music and letting it all sink in. Now it all fits together. Thank you so much for your wonderful music George!
I came to post a comment to see who is listening in 2022? And I realized I posted 4 years ago - 😊
Also 2024
I've seen him in concert four times and each concert was perfection. The crystalline quality of his notes. the evocative moods of his music. I will always relate to him to my late father as they were from the same "stomping grounds" as Dad would say. "Thanksgiving" makes me think of my father every single time. Very emotional song for me.
これを聴きながら寝ていたら 短い恋愛の夢を見た。目がさめたら しみじみとひたってしまった。せつない。
While I slept as listening this album, i had short romantic dream. After i woke up, i had very sentimental feelings indeed. It was a bitter -sweet experience of my own .
My phone started playing this album spontaneously yesterday w/o ads.
Ok. I'm listening to George Winston now.
Thank you phone.
The album I didn't know I needed.
I live 8700 miles away from where I grew up, but when I listen to his music I am home again.
This touched me, since I know how you feel
Where are u now
Music is one of God's gifts he's given to his children for our enjoyment! It's one of those things that help us ,in the world we live in, it lifts us when we are down, it helps us remember we are slive!
Good old music memories always feel like home, don't they? So comforting...
It is beautiful Autumn and Long/Longing in particular: love; I continue to recommend to it those that want to hear the best in music. I love this album and George's playing all these years later. Wonderful...xoxoxo
an overcast day, a thunderstorm with the rain, sitting before an open fire at night, all of these moods are captured by the music of George Winston especially this autumn album. Sweet peace and calm overwhelmed our spirit when we listen to his genius in piano and pianissimo.
So very sorry that I never saw a live performance. I always thought there'd be more time. Rest in peace George Winston. Your music lives on.
I've loved this album for 30 years. I've had many wonderful nights with a good glass of brandy, soft lighting, pen & paper with the world shut out while listening to this.
Kristin Rose Sounds good. i am a home bird too. with my hubby of course
34 years for me. Longing Love was playing on Musical Strastreams radio show back in the early 80s in Chicago. Good Times!
@@williamgilley7061 LOL! I had the urge to listen to this tonight and this is the first I've seen of the comments. Back in the day before email, I had to actually write to friends that i moved away from and this always put me in a good, nostalgic mood.
Exactly!
So sad to hear this...
This was one of the albums my dad had on his cd rack. We were never close but I went through all his music and fell in love with this album. He passed unexpectedly and I have no idea how to even start thinking about what he meant in my life. But I do know that I will always have his music.
Winston is a favorite since back in the late 80s at college in the US I would buy too many of his CDs. This reminds me of Rhode Island in the fall. Greetings from Kenya
greetings
Just the perfect soundtrack to enjoy autumn foliage in the New England states! Congrats to you for this great experience I once was able to enjoy, too.
The Piano is the most incredible instrument mankind has ever devised
Let the best moments of each instrument inspire you ...
Whilst I like it, I really prefer the violin.........
Well besides drums... Piano tries it's best tho!
Drums....I like drums too but....drums....Really?
No, that distinction actually quite deservedly goes to the pipe organ. That's why it's called the King of Instruments.
