The gestation period of this recording was longer than a human's. Focus in on Elton John's use of inversions and passing tones to dress up a beautifully simple tune. Dee Murray often gets credit for this unique aspect of many Elton John tunes, but he was really committed to following John's left hand in an almost orchestral fashion. What Murray did in-between is his own unique story! The combination of the two men's styles is what we gratefully have today. http://www.youtube.com/user/solowbassUse headphones for best results

Beautiful, Paul. Your execution of it is elegant, and yet you comfortably describe the moves while playing them. I love that double glissando.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

Thanks Mike,
Believe it or not, I met Dee when he played with the Spencer Davis Group for a dance at my high school in 1968 0r 69!! Being a pro isn't all gravy, is it? Paul

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
