Thanksgiving, George Winston

I have been haunted by this track since I was 16 years old when I had the good fortune to purchase a copy of George Winston's December album. In a sense, I have been learning how to play this song my entire life, but only recently have a gotten serious about trying to record it. This song was played during the candle lighting at my wedding and had been my constant companion though many long, cold Wisconsin winters. It has brought me much happiness over the years, and I am so glad to have finally spent the time I needed to get my version recorded.

I originally learned the song by ear, but played this version as close as possible to George's official transcript (a great way to improve my music reading skills!) I voiced the piano using Modartt's PianoTEQ 6 standard edition version 6.5.2 using a modified version of the Steinway D Prelude patch.  I recorded my performance using Ableton Live 10 Suite on a single MIDI track. I have applied EQ both pre and post to the reverb (I did not use the reverb from PianoTEQ) on the piano and employed a compressor and limiter on the master bus.  Here is the link to the track:
