"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" guts me every single time. And it's a challenge to sing. Well done! Teach the children. They'll have their own song memories soon enough.
I’ll always be grateful for our connection to the tunes of our young lives… the radio stations’ playlists that formed the background and meaning of our existence. In 1964 an AM station in LA played a song called I Wanna Hold Your Hand at 7:30 every morning and in San Diego I tuned my little plastic radio to their signal and thrilled at the static filled music I heard. I hope kids today have some kind of similar inspiration.
Indeed we both were so lucky to have such experiences with radio. It helped that there wasn’t a lot on content. Kids today have so much more to contend with.
and they say the olfactory is the most memory-oriented sense!! did you, dear? as i have said/sang many times: music saves lives. the liner notes on the first Steely Dan album say that Reelin' In The Years is "unreleased nostalgia" - now, that's a phrase!! question: did you think the Zep song was Die-er Maker? like the grim reaper?? ha ha. i did. i didn't learn it was pronounced like jamaica for a long time. it is hard to express these feelings to the youts of today. but, some WANT to know!

Thank you! And yes indeed, those 70s Elton melodies are challenging to nail. What a team he and Taupin were. Amazing.
An unbeatable combo! So grateful to have seen the farewell tour twice.
