August 18, 2003 - George Winston is well known for being a work horse when it comes to touring and his current itinerary shows the pianist has no plans on slowing down. Winston's just released concert schedule stretches into may of 2004 and promises to include as many covers as originals. Winston's latest album "Night Divides the Day," features 13 covers of doors hits including "People Are Strange," "Love Me Two Times," "Light My Fire" and "Love Her Madly." The pianist credits the Doors for inspiring him to start playing the piano, "When I heard ... 'Break on Through (to the Other Side),' to me it was the greatest piece of music I'd ever heard ... ," Winston said in a press release. "It is a perfect song--the arrangement, dynamics, lyrics ... It was deeper to me than anything I'd ever heard." Winston has also covered Sarah McLachlan and Vince Guaraldi. Winston along with Jim Brickman are the two biggest selling performers on Windham Hill records.
