George Winston
George Winston (born 1949) is an American pianist who was born in Michigan, and grew up mainly in Miles City, Montana, as well as Mississippi and Florida. He is best known for his solo piano recordings; several of his albums from the early 1980s have sold millions of copies each. Winston has been described as the “Father of New Age Music,”〔 〕 but he eschews the term, preferring to call his style "rural folk piano."〔 〕
==Early life==
When growing up, Winston's interest in music was listening to instrumentals in the R&B, rock, pop, and jazz genres, especially by organists. After hearing The Doors in 1967, he was inspired to start playing the organ. In 1971, he switched to solo piano after hearing Thomas "Fats" Waller, Teddy Wilson, Earl Hines and Donald Lambert.
Winston attended Stetson University in DeLand, Florida in the 1960s, where he majored in sociology. While he did not complete work on his undergraduate degree, following his rise to prominence the university awarded him an honorary doctor of arts degree.〔https://www.flickr.com/photos/stetsonu/3468475014〕
