thanks for the blast to my past – i had 13 of elton john’s albums along with 375 pictures of him!! All of which I think I finally let go of during my last move…my favorite was always ” tiny dancer”
I remember this song! Perfect day for a little song and dance. Thanks for the fun reminder of times gone by. This remains a beautiful song. Great lyrics really do survive the test of time.
Mother Earth, Tiny Dancer, in fact the whole Madman album, was probably my favorite too. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was right up there, too. Karen, are you an Elton John fan? What are your EJ favorites?
I have to agree madman across the water rocks !
