Living in the Country - George Winston

Living in the Country is the first track on George Winston's 1991 release, Summer.

I found the sheet music 10 or 12 years ago on the internet. The sheet is written in the key of D, so that is the way I initially learned it and played it that way for years. I never really liked how the piece sounded, as I wasn't playing it in the original key of C sharp, as GW recorded it. A couple of years ago I decided to scrap the D and made the painful transition to C sharp. Although my cat was kind of begging for my attention in this video, I like the result in C sharp much better. I hope you agree.

Cheers,
Dave

Thanks. I haven't seen GW in concert for a number of years. I hope to catch him the next time he swings through town.

Beautiful job! C# is a much more fitting key for this piece! Your transposition work was well worth it!!
