ROG - you've got me blushing a bit, too... my!... Elton John and Abbey Road? I'm humbled... Of course, it helps having a top player do the piano specifically for the song. In retrospect, I should have gotten him to do a LOT more - but we were "poor" at the time - hindsight...

Commercial? - I DO take that as the highest compliment... it was the intent - especially at the time... I've spent the last 20 years preachin' that "commercial is not a dirty word..." smile


Tom - Oh my!... Bacharach and Hamlisch... between you and ROG it seems I've covered a lot of ground. Again.. I'm humbled... Goes to show - you never know what will catch people's attention the most. I never really "showed this around" much - guess I maybe should have. Again - hindsight...

At one point, I switched from BMI to ASCAP - there's an interesting story why.... I'll tell it to you when we share that beer you promised... (but I'll take a check from either!!)

Congrats to you on the "win" - well deserved!
