We're it not for COVID-19, I would be having dinner with my daughter, Son-in-law, and his mother just before heading to the Excel Energy Center in St. Paul to see Sir Elton perform. But alas, the show was cancelled over a month ago.

I was 17, and it was at the Hollywood Bowl. Unforgettable time. Sadly, he just doesn't sound the same after his throat surgery in the 80's. He cannot reach those high notes, so it changes the sound of many of his old songs.

until I started listening to a podcast hosted by a guy who is originally from Philadelphia. He plays it a lot to annoy his co host. It really is a good song though!
