George Winston looks like a perfect, well-proportioned pianist. Not too big, and not too small, George Winston is the type of pianist everyone can embrace. He's an inviting pianist. And a masterful pianist. Hell, he invented his own goddamn playing style, folk piano. Wait! What did you think we were talking about? Winston will be in Tacoma Friday, and if you're lucky he'll bust out one of his interpretations of Frank Zappa. That's no pianist joke, either.
