I had the good fortune to photograph George Winston on a couple of occasions. George would not allow photos to be taken during his show, but he would allow you to photograph him while he ran through soundcheck. You could jump on stage, stand behind him, whatever you like.
Both times, George came in last-minute, combed his hair for the photos, and got to work. One time, George commented that he wished that his shirt wasn't so wrinkled. I promised him that I use the piano to cover it up. One of my happiest emails to my late, much-missed mother in law was when George used some of my photos on social media.
Safe travels, George. Now you, and the music live forever.
