HIGH FLYING BIRD – Elton John

#1154 - HIGH FLYING BIRD 10/3/2019

Yesterday my old neighborhood buddy, Steve, shared his recollection of his first LP purchase as a kid. It was Elton John’s 1973 “Don’t Shoot Me. I’m Only the Piano Player”. Elton has been around for so long it’s almost hard to recall that this album was his first to reach Number 1 on the Billboard LP charts. You literally couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing the huge hits CROCODILE ROCK or DANIEL. The tune that still remains one of my all-time favorite is the album’s closer – HIGH FLYING BIRD. Thanks for playing along at home, Steve!
