[CAUT] False Beats and George Winston

[reggaepass at aol.com]

I knew..because I used to service it for him when he and I both lived 
in the same part of L. A. He has a special place in his heart for that 
old upright. As his statue has grown, he has become more aware of what 
a concert piano can be. However, given what he has at home, he has 
clearly joined the ranks of that most curious category, those who have 
nothing to brag about to practice on at home (and that's being 
charitable), and yet still have a heightened sensitivity to the 
inconsistencies and other shortcomings of instruments many times the 
better or their own. Go figure. Anyone else know of other accomplished 
performers who fit this description?

  I asked him later what kind of piano he had at home and he replied, 
"An old, tired upright." Who knew?
