Sad news.

"December" has played in our house for DECADES. It never gets old.

(his live show was a "magical night of listening")


Put this on to play in the background while you go about your day.
If you don't become an instant fan...there's something wrong with you.

Yes, this is very sad news. I'll have to dig out his albums and give them a spin.

RIP Mr. Winston

My wife is a big fan of the seasons albums.
Pretty phrases ending in long ringing notes with lots of "the room" in them is how I hear him.
Relatively young but also had not been "well" for a long time.
The notes ring on.


Cheers

Sad news indeed.

Somehow he never made it on my radar but I listened to this YouTube and this guy is beyond masterful. What beautiful, uplifting and majestic music. Hopefully he has inspired others to follow in his footsteps.

Thanks for sharing this and may he rest in musical peace.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

He was one of the pioneers of "new age" music back in the day. Very melodic playing.

He was also and champion and player of Hawaiian Slack Key guitar.
