Sad news about the passing of George Winston.
https://www.georgewinston.com/about/

His Dancing Cat Records releases are what introduced me to Ki Ho'Alu.

I still have CDs of his own works. I need to go listen to them again.

My introduction to ki ho'alu was different, but the Dancing Cat titles are a staple of my library. I have also given away several copies and often recommended the Slack Key Masters CD's. They will get another listen soon.

The man helped many to broaden their horizons, one mele at a time.

We've lost a wonderful, talented, unselfish person. One thing that I will always remember about George was a comment he made to me about one of the songs on my CD, 'Kauai On My Mind'.
He said, 'Bill, I don't have room to promote your CD on DC, but your arrangement of the classic 'September Song' is the best I have ever heard'. How can one ever forget such a compliment as that?
Every music lover will miss him, whether they realize it or not.
R.I.P. George.
