Listener comments!
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Get your platform shows and your feathers on - it's time for Elton! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:01pm Paper Kosmonaut: Ready to face a night with Dwight. Hi GG!
	4:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there PK! :-)
	4:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have been waiting for decades to play Funeral For A Friend on the radio :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:03pm Paper Kosmonaut: No particular reason apart ftom the song itself, I hope?
	4:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Just the song, don't worry! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:03pm Sem: Hello, gg, F&F-ers, the suddenly F&F curious, and all.
	4:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi there Sem!! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:04pm Paper Kosmonaut: I love me a bit of 'old' early Elton. Lots of proggish and classic influences.
	4:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: To be fair, the entirety of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is STUNNING :-)
	4:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - This era of Elton is my fave too :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Paper Kosmonaut: As much as I don't really like Elton's later outings. cough nikita cough
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: Haven't heard this for a very long time. I liked this whole band; they played together very well.
	4:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - yeah ... kinda with you there Lol
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm StringOFperils: Oh hello, right...
	4:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi SOp! Happy to see you :-)
	4:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One day I want to do Love Lies Bleeding at karaoke :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi Sem! Hi SofP!
	4:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: When Elton rocked, he ROCKED :-)
	4:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is also the album where he fired the entire band immediately afterwards. Lol
	4:09pm Elizabeth: Hello Georgy and everyone!
	4:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Elizabeth, my lovely! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Paper Kosmonaut: That apparently was the regular way of working in those days. Bowie's Spiders were quickly fired too, in spite of - or perhaps because of Mick Ronson's brilliance..
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi Elizabeth!
	4:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - It's crazy to look back on all that, isn't it?
	4:11pm Elizabeth: Sorry I only get to post like one time during the show! I only have 15 minutes on my break until I leave at 5:00!
	4:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth- That's ok! I know you always enjoy the show :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm StringOFperils: Alt music (which this still was) was changing very rapidly at the time as I remember it then. This album was kind of like cleaning out his foot-locker; they blew it all out, and then the world itself was different....and so was Elton. He could become Elton.
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm Paper Kosmonaut: You go, Elizabeth!
	4:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - That is a GREAT observation :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm Paper Kosmonaut: We know you are here with us, Elizabeth.
	4:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This track, featuring the late, great Dusty Springfield on backing vocals :-)
	4:13pm Elizabeth: Hi Paper Kosmonaut!
	♥ 4:13pm solo mon: I waited to arrive to this song!
	4:13pm Elizabeth: Always!
	🎸 ♥ 4:14pm StringOFperils: I never listened to this album, except fo its radio presence. I didn't know Dusty was on it. That's great!
	4:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - Great entrance! :-D
	4:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - they were great friends, too :-)
	♥ 4:14pm solo mon: I swear it is wasn’t on purpose but it is uncanny ;-)
	4:14pm Elizabeth: @ Georgy- your show is one of the highlights of my week! And "I Start Counting " was from the movie- just not Dusty's version- to continue a conversation we had two weeks ago! LOL!
	4:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - LOL! ;-)
	4:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - It genuinely makes me happy to know that you enjoy it so much <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:15pm StringOFperils: Ha ha ha, solo. Hilarious.
	🎸 ♥ 4:16pm StringOFperils: This song is so good. I love this song.
	4:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - me too :-) This is one of my favourites <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:16pm StringOFperils: It's on his real first album too.
	🎸 ♥ 4:16pm Scott67: G'day Georgy & Friggers! 😎❤🐾🌞
	4:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there Scott! :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Paper Kosmonaut: I have to join Elizabeth in the way that since I joined in times of Covid I always look forward to these shows. It feels a bit like going out. (it's night over here in Europe)
	4:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I don't think I need to tell you all that I had the best time putting this week's show together :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hey Scott! How yer diddlin'?
	4:18pm captain mike: All the Girls love Alice! Let Us Not Forget.
	4:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Oh thank you!!! <3
	4:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My love for The Beatles is well documented, but it's Elton who has provided the soundtrack to my life <3
	4:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi captain mike! :-)
	4:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And now - my favourite Elton track of all time :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: it's in a large way because of you, GG, your taste of music and the atmosphere here in the chat make me come back and I really enjoy these hours.
	4:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - That's made me so happy. :-) Genuinely. <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Scott67: Feeling good thanks PK! It does feel like a social outing doesn't it, even if it's only 8:20am here.
	4:21pm captain mike: Hi DJ Georgy Girl Remembering Yellow Brick Road and Quadrophenia as a Christmas double header back in the day...
	🎸 ♥ 4:21pm Paper Kosmonaut: Good morning to you, then, Scott!
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Scott and @PK - And I get to meet so many wonderful people, too, like your lovely selves :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:21pm Paper Kosmonaut: (-:
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @captain mike - WOW!! There's a double bill! :-)
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I am singing VERY loud right now :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm Scott67: 😊
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm Feldpausch: Happy Friday GeorgyGirl! MWAH! Cheers to the rest of the chat gang
	🎸 ♥ 4:23pm Paper Kosmonaut: That indeed sounds incredible, Cpt. Mike.. I have seen my portion of gigs in my days (the late 80's and all through the 90's) but wow.
	4:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's the lovely Mr Feldpausch! Hello! Mwah back to you! :-) <3
	4:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You'll notice as well that this is Part One ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi Adam!
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm Paper Kosmonaut: is it strange that I prefer this one on MATW over Tiny Dancer anytime?
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm Feldpausch: Hello Paper Kos!
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm StringOFperils: I've always admired Reg's innovative way of making the piano into the instrument around which to build a rock unit. It wasn't until just a few years ago when he dragged Leon Russell back into the limelight for a bit that I could see and hear one of his main artistic models...because Elton isn't like Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis...there is American gospel in there tho....I'm rambling because I'm enthusiastic about piano in rock arranging, where it's much more than an afterthought. This early material is always astonishing to me.
	4:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - It's a stunner of a track! :-)
	4:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I hadn't realised until fairly recently just how gospel informed what he did :-) And I think, like you say, that he really made the piano a ROCK instrument which is fantastic :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm Paper Kosmonaut: Those orchestral violin stings. Great. Bit like Gainsbourg and Vannier in that same period. Melody Nelson.
	4:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Gosh yes! :-)
	4:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think the piano is always relegated to a very sedate position and yet Elton takes it up to that higher level. :-)
	4:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I bought Captain fantastic the day it came out without having heard a single track. I've only done that with three albums :-)
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And it's my fave Elton album :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: He plays the piano much more like the underlying percussion instrument that it actually is.
	♥ 4:29pm solo mon: Rockin out with my duster!
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - That's it! That's exactly it :-) I'm guessing his days as a pub musician had a lot to do with it, too
	4:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - Rock out with Elton! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:30pm StringOFperils: It was liberating for me, after growing up with my mother torturing Chopin at the piano all the time, to see this little guy in spangly shorts literally kicking out the piano bench and just making it NEW.
	4:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I love that :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm Rich in Washington: Hey, GeorgyGirl! Was listening on my lovely walk and now while making a marinade.
	4:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi there Rich! Did you have a good birthday yesterday? :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm Paper Kosmonaut: Oh! a belated Happy Birthday, Rich!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Sem: Got an early taste of his (&Bernies) music w/ Tumbleweed Connection. Fell in love w/ the poetry, and the voice.
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Rich in Washington: I did. I mean, getting rid of the orange smear was also helpful. Thanks, Paper Kosmonaut!
	4:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - You've got some tracks from that coming up :-)
	4:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Oh yes! A great birthday present ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:34pm Sem: Bless you and your entire family, gg.
	4:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - <3
	4:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Elton once said in an interview, in response to a question about writer's block: "If in doubt, write a hymn" :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm Rich in Washington: This is brilliant, GeorgyGirl!
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm StringOFperils: In addition to piano god-hood, Elton is one of the greatest shoppers who will ever live. That man bought so much stuff. And then got rid of it. And then did it again. The custom eyeglasses alone must fill a museum.
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: hey there GeorgyGirl & frigateers
	4:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Thank you, my lovely! Consider it an extra birthday present :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hey you ancient fish!
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Rich in Washington: Hi coelacanthø!
	4:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - This is true. And then there are all the gifts he bought for everyone else too! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Sem: SoP: including, I have read, two full-sized stuffed gorillas.
	4:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there coelacantho! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:38pm Paper Kosmonaut: You gotta do something with that money...
	4:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - I mean ... what else are you going to spend your money on? LOL
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: hey Paper K! Happy birthday Rich!
	4:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Snap! ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:38pm Paper Kosmonaut: hahaha
	4:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - Three tracks to be precise (I just looked it up) :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Sem: !
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Paper Kosmonaut: This song has a little bit of a deeper mesning in the Netherlands. Those were the words the Dutch military commander used when he was more or less chased away out of Srebrenica in the Balkan wars in the 90's..
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Paper Kosmonaut: meaning
	4:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Wow! I did not know that! That sends a chill!
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm Paper Kosmonaut: Commander Karremans was his name. I guess that translates to Cartman...
	4:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Oh dear! That's an unfortunate name ...!
	4:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: They really did Elton dirty with the Honky Chateau album cover ... it's the photo cropping: "Hide the bald bit!!" Lol
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm Paper Kosmonaut: he should have embraced it.
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm StringOFperils: Rugged, country Elton.
	4:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - All the horror stories in his book about the operations ... And one time when he left the surgery and banged his head on the car door. Ouch!!!
	4:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - he does suit a beard, weirdly!
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm StringOFperils: It's a bit Baldry actually. Never really noticed that before. Hmm.
	4:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Neither did I but now you come to mention it ...
	🎸 ♥ 4:47pm Paper Kosmonaut: He said in the quote he should be at Barclay's Bank... Isn't Barclay's rhyming slang for ...
	4:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - It is, but that's not what he meant. Although you just made me laugh very loud ;-)
	4:52pm Linda Lee: hello my darlin! i'm here just for you, GG. :-)
	4:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Linda Lee!! So happy to see you! :-D <3
	4:53pm Linda Lee: i'm thrilled to see & hear you dear!
	4:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - How are you? How are things? How goes the adventure? :-)
	4:54pm Linda Lee: it's adventurous! i'm fine. very pleased to be where i am. thank you love! :-) how are you?
	4:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "With a cold vacant stare of undue concern he said 'Nine'". BERNIE YOU'RE A STAR! I love that line :-)
	4:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I'm very very well and happy :-) I was super excited for today's show :-) So I'm in my happy place :-)
	4:56pm Linda Lee: beautiful! so glad! :-)
	4:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - You've inspired me to live with the seasons :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Rich in Washington: Love this documentary style show, GG! It's wonderful!
	4:57pm Linda Lee: & here's my favorite Elton tune! brava!
	4:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Thank you! :-) I wanted to experiment a little bit and try something new for the Flange. I had a lot of fun doing it so I shall do some more :-)
	4:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: Damn. Those early Elton years are just really good stuff.
	4:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - When you hear it all together like this it's really extraordinary just how good he is :-) I mean I know he's good ... but it's nice to hear it all together :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: @GG: it also has to do with the order and the choice of songs. You have done that very well, Georgy.
	4:59pm Linda Lee: alas, that 'cold vacant stare' line reminds me of a video i saw from one of Elton's garden parties.
	4:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Thank you! :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: And let's not forget Bernie Taupin here.
	4:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - is that the one with Mick in it? :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm StringOFperils: True PK. A lot of magic that you cannot bottle there, that duo.
	5:00pm Linda Lee: indeed. my god, just deadly! :-D
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I was just about to type that! :-) Equal credit to the extraordinary writing skills of the fabulous Bernie Taupin :-)
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - The first time I saw that I could not stop laughing ;-)
	5:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This song is SO beautiful that it makes me sob <3
	5:01pm Linda Lee: if anything could scare a person away from success totally..
	🎸 ♥ 5:01pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Georgy! Tuning in! Yay, Sir Elton!!
	5:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there Candy, my lovely! :-D <3
	5:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The lyrics in this are just divine
	5:02pm Linda Lee: hey Candy-O!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm Candy-O'67: Hi, Linda Lee!
	5:03pm Linda Lee: how are you?
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep. Crying again.
	5:04pm Linda Lee: oh my..
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Wasn't that lovely?
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm StringOFperils: I wonder if he ever played that for his first son, when number 2 came along.
	5:05pm Linda Lee: it was. :-)
	5:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I have just stopped crying ... You're going to set me off again! Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi Candy-O!
	5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Another thing that made me cry. Elton has said in interviews that in the non-sexual sense, Bernie is the love of his life. That made me sob <3
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm StringOFperils: It's very sweet that you're living it GG, and not just playing it. That is wonderful. :)
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - If there was a camera here you'd see me crying, laughing, dancing, singing ... :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm Candy-O'67: Howdy, Paper Kosmonaut!
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm StringOFperils: Truth be told, I am a bit too. (blush)
	5:07pm Linda Lee: has anyone here seen 'rocket man'? my expectations for rock biopics are really in the crapper after the Freddie Mercury film..
	5:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Good! :-) That makes me happy. I love this music so much that I am compelled to share it, and the one thing that makes me the happiest in life is making other people happy :-)
	5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I haven't ... but only because I think it's more like a jukebox musical, and I really, really hate jukebox musicals ... the book on the other hand is fabulous!
	5:09pm Linda Lee: gee, i'm startin to suspect i've got a heart of stone!
	🎸 ♥ 5:09pm Paper Kosmonaut: @GG 5:08 and that is what makes you such a good DJ.
	5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Noo ... You've gotten emotional over songs before. I know that :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:10pm Paper Kosmonaut: really mean that.
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Thank you :-) That means everything to me <3
	5:10pm Linda Lee: whew. thank Goddesses! :-D
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is the song that everyone sings along to ... but it's impossible to sing along to without sounding like a cat. Lol
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Altogether now! ;-)
	5:11pm Linda Lee: Moowwwwwwowowowwwww ..
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm Candy-O'67: I saw it, Linda! I thought it was good :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm StringOFperils: I was JUST thinking about how hard this is to sing....I've often failed.
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - That's the one! ;-)
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I'm giving it a good college try ;-)
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Also, what is a Vadka and Tanic? ;-)
	5:12pm Linda Lee: hahah!! it's true. what did you like about it, Candy-O?
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: GrooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOund!
	5:13pm Linda Lee: ROAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOowowowowowwwww..
	5:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - You heard me! ;-) Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm Paper Kosmonaut: Vadka, Tanic, Elton's pronounciation has its ups and downs. 'Aaahm Sti-Sstannnin! Feelelika lillekit! lookelike sow sefiver!'
	5:14pm Linda Lee: i did!!! ow owowowwwwww!!
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - That one took me ages to figure out. Lol
	5:15pm Linda Lee: i'll confess to a real preference for early EJ. the sound was mysterious & new at the time. pretty cool!
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm Candy-O'67: I thought the storyline was good about his life, songs were done well by Taron Egerton. I'd definitely watch it again! They had the fashion down, too! :))
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm Paper Kosmonaut: @ Linda Lee: exactly!
	5:15pm Linda Lee: i prefer early Bowie too. maybe i have a feeling for the strugglers.
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Oh absolutely! The Too Low For Zero album was a nice return, but for me from 76 onwards it trails off a bit.
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I just think the 80s were a disaster for most people. Lol
	5:16pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: "WELL, HELLO" to you Dear GG & Dear Listeners.
	5:16pm Linda Lee: ah! that fashion!! good!
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm Candy-O'67: I usually prefer early stuff of this era of bands, too!
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Photocopy!!! Hello!!! How are you?
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Candy - Yep! Lots more soul :-)
	5:17pm Linda Lee: the 80s were not good to the big rock stars, no.
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Candy-O'67: Yes, everything went downhill in the '80's for the most part! haha! We did get some good goth out of that decade, though!
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - In soooo many ways. Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Paper Kosmonaut: For me, it's like how they evolve, mainly. Elton went a more commercial road in the middle of the 70's, Bowie kept his more experimental until Let's Dance.
	5:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think all the big 70s people have one huge moment in the 80s - Bowie with the Let's Dance album like PK says. But I guess everyone has their time and their era.
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Paper Kosmonaut: Muutama suomalainen sana! Hei Photocopy!
	5:19pm Linda Lee: suppose they all figured out they were aging for real ..?
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Could be!
	5:19pm Linda Lee: a bit of a bummer, i guess. :-)
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I mean Elton has said that he'll do one off gigs and charity things so there's always hope that I'll get to see him play Brighton pride one year. I will be right at the front and nothing will shift me ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Candy-O'67: I so hope you get to do that, Georgy! If he ever comes to the states again, I gotta go :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: And when they get old, all of them turn into jazz standard crooners. (-;
	5:20pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:16 DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm OK-ish, thanks, how it is going over there? I gotta admit I buy too many records as I have brought two HUGE, HEAVY parcels home from post office, just exhausted from carting all that home!
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Candy - Definitely on my bucket list :-)
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Ooo! What do you have?
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Cha Cha! That's a good problem to have!! ;)
	5:21pm Linda Lee: wow. i was once such a proud born new yorker i took offense at this song!!
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Thank you for your email by the way! I have made a note of when I can do that for you :-)
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - :-)
	5:22pm Linda Lee: i'd sit there & say, well, f*ck you, ya bitch! :-D
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This song resonates for me. I found out that some of my ancestors were from Stepney :-)
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I got some semi-Cockney blood! ;-)
	5:24pm Linda Lee: so then: why did she get her kicks in Stepney, not in Knightsbridge any more?
	5:25pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:21 Candy-O'67: I agree, even if records are more expensive (in Europe) nowadays, if there were no customs etc. I'd spend (probably too much) money buying records from USA as it's soooo much cheaper to buy vintage vinyl from there...
	5:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Lots of pubs and music halls :-)
	5:25pm Linda Lee: ah! that one always caught me up. ta! ;-)
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Stepney is part of the old East End :-)
	5:27pm Linda Lee: ah. got it. :-)
	5:28pm Linda Lee: does it really pay to buy records from the US generally? they're not cheap here either, any more.
	5:28pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Goedenavond Paper Kosmonaut, you know what I thought the same thing re:Gainsbourg & Madman Across The Water when I was outdoors with this show as the soundtrack. Those strings indeed. I checked, turns out Melody Nelson was out already in March 1971 and they were still recording Madman Across The Water in August that year. So.... maybe somebody was listening while writing the arrangements.
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - It depends. Sometimes it works out cheaper even with the postage, which is bizarre, I agree! Especially when the exhange rate is good :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: Oh- i have to get back on that earlier Srebrenica-quote I mentioned: It wasn't the song title but the album title I was pointing at. 'Don't shoot the piano player"
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - That could be true! Elton was always a voracious music collector :-)
	5:30pm Linda Lee: wow! how awful!
	5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Ah! Isn't that a Charles Aznavour movie too?
	5:30pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:21 DJ GeorgyGirl: I have TOO MANY records.... BUT - among them one I bought per your recommendation: Ringo!
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Paper Kosmonaut: Could be, GG. Not so into Azna.
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Ooo! Let me know what you think of it :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm StringOFperils: @photocopy > That''s really interesting, Never realized the obvious similarity between those string parts before. Melody Nelson. How 'bout that.
	5:31pm Linda Lee: i'm pretty sure the film is 'shoot the piano player'..
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I think it's a Nouvelle Vague one, kind of hard boiled. I shall have to look that up :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm StringOFperils: Truffaut. yes.
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I think you're right! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm StringOFperils: Charles Aznavour stars in it.
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm Paper Kosmonaut: Okay. That may be interesting. All those french singers acted in movies and all actors made albums.
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Truffaut! Thank you :-)
	5:32pm Linda Lee: just had a look. yes, that's the film. https://www.criterion.com/films/764-shoot-the-piano-player
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That's the one!
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My grey cells were working overtime there ;-)
	5:33pm Linda Lee: released in the beautiful year of 1960.
	5:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - A very good year! :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 5:34pm Paper Kosmonaut: About Vannier (the Gainsbourg Melody nelson connection): Vannier made a very interesting record last year with Mike Patton (of Faith No More). It sounds so French and Gainsbourgy.
	5:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Mike Patton does so many interesting things!
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Paper Kosmonaut: correction: in 2019 already. Where's 2020?
	5:35pm Linda Lee: it was a very good year .. for city girls .. something something up the stairs ..
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Yeah ... that year. Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Paper Kosmonaut: mikepatton.bandcamp.com...
	5:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Ah yes! Frank! :-)
	5:36pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:31 StringOFperils: for me this was a reminder:"hmmmm, I really have to check out Madman Across The Water" - as I have never heard the album in my life! L'Histoire De Melody Nelson on the other hand many times. It could be said Elton's voice is less damaged by smoking than Gainsbourg's was...
	♥ 5:37pm solo mon: Ello hay! Just back from a meeting! Back on the Elton train- choo choo
	5:37pm Linda Lee: that song always fascinated me. the lyrics!
	5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Serge had that French/Gaulois thing going on for sure! :-)
	5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I love where the music goes too. :-)
	5:38pm Linda Lee: yes! for sure. really lovely.
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm Paper Kosmonaut: Gitanes, day and night. I presume he even made love with a gitane in his mouth.
	5:38pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:37 DJ GeorgyGirl: Yes, except his brand was GITANES! These things are important ;)
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There will be a part two of the Elton show except not next week because ... it's Andrew Loog Oldham's birthday! So lots of Immediate records, and some Donovan, and some guys from London ;-)
	5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Gitanes! My bad :-)
	5:39pm Linda Lee: oh! 'how to make a homely man attractive, step 1' ..
	5:39pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:38 Paper Kosmonaut: I really can not imagine that any other way since you pointed it out :)
	5:39pm Martinibomb: Hellooooooo Deejay georgy! <3
	5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi MB! :-) <3
	5:39pm Linda Lee: ooh! Andrew Oldham! fabulous!
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi MB!
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - can't remember the name of the band he managed ;-)
	5:41pm Martinibomb: elloo paper k, linda, photocopy :)
	5:41pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:40 DJ GeorgyGirl: Vierivät Kivet?
	5:41pm Linda Lee: oh! hang on .. the name's right ... under my thumb..
	5:41pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:41 Martinibomb: Good Evening MB!
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - :-)
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I see what you did there ;-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: i'd love to read his memoir, actually. haven't picked it up yet.
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - It really is good :-)
	5:43pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Anyways, looking forward to that Andrew Loog Oldham birthday show!
	5:43pm Linda Lee: is it? brilliant! i'm glad.
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Yay! :-)
	5:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - It's funny and sad, and he doesn't pull any punches at all. :-)
	5:44pm Linda Lee: wouldn't think so. :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm Sem: Been a lovely time with ej and gg. Thanks so much.
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you for being here Sem! :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm Paper Kosmonaut: And this one reminds me rhythm-wise of Gainsbourg's 'titicaca" from Vu de l' exterieur.
	5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I'm going to have to revisit Serge!
	🎸 ♥ 5:46pm Paper Kosmonaut: (but that one is from 1973)
	5:46pm Linda Lee: i friended the man on fb some time back, but alas, fb is mainly for marketing, i think.
	🎸 ♥ 5:46pm Paper Kosmonaut: lol @ Linda Lee
	5:47pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:45 Paper Kosmonaut: you seem to know your Gainsbourg, cool!
	5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I love how he always manages to work the Stones into every comment ;-)
	5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Prepare yourselves for some singing next :-)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: hahahaha!! does he? that's sad!
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm Paper Kosmonaut: @ photocopy: Gainsbourg is great and I have (I think almost) all of his work.
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You knew this was coming ;-)
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hold me closer, Tony Danza :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm StringOFperils: Knew THAT was coming.
	🎸 ♥ 5:49pm Paper Kosmonaut: hahaha
	5:49pm Linda Lee: i always wondered about 'pirate smile' here. was she missing teeth in front?
	5:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've always wondered about the pirate smile - mischievous maybe?
	5:50pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:48 Paper Kosmonaut: I need 5to get there too, I don't have enough of his work. That DVD set (with "Melody Nelson" TV film) is so awesome.
	5:50pm Linda Lee: we're still doi'n it, kid.
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here we go
	♥ 5:50pm Domenic: Hi everyone! was stuck in a work related Teams meeting... Its so awesome to hear Elton.
	5:51pm Linda Lee: that's what you get for testing doubloons with your canines
	5:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dom! Glad you're enjoying it! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm StringOFperils: All that sugar cane rum, and nary a toothbrush for a thousand leagues.
	♥ 5:52pm Domenic: Georgy. I just love what you do here on Sheena's. Your just awesome.
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm Paper Kosmonaut: @ Photocopy: Melody is great indeed but all of his late sixties, early seventies stuff is exceptional. But he has had so many different styles.
	5:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dear Bernie, Why did your ex-wife have a "pirate smile"? Thanks, The Flange & Frigate
	5:52pm Linda Lee: arrrrrr.
	5:52pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:49 Linda Lee: since mentioned that, it reminded me immediately of Incredible String Band's Licorice Mc Kechnie
	5:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Dom - Oh!!! You're making me blush! :-)
	5:53pm Linda Lee: darn right! seconded! <3
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: For years I wondered what "sheets of Lennon" were as well
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You're all lovely :-) <3
	5:54pm Linda Lee: just like a man, eh? 'you had a busy day today .. so lay me.'
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One more track after this! :-)
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This was SO MUCH FUN :-D
	5:54pm Linda Lee: 'in streets of Lennon' ..
	♥ 5:54pm PMD: Happened upon this. Great so far! Will have to go back to the archives!
	♥ 5:54pm Domenic: In a way i consider Elton modern England's George Frederich Handel.... Incidentally he we also gay. and Elton will be buried in Westminster Abbey like he is. Maybe with a statue too to boot,
	♥ 5:55pm PMD: Hi @ Linda Lee!
	5:55pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: The best soundbite tonight was indeed about his spending of money, "I don't get crazy" - of course you never have Elton dear...
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You have Don-O coming up next! www.wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm Scott67: Thanks for the educational journey Georgy. I never really listened to Elton growing up, but you remind me just how much I really did hear & enjoy. 😎❤
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you PMD! :-)
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Lol!
	5:55pm Linda Lee: no, he only hires armies of dwarves for his garden parties.
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Scott - Oh I am glad! Lovely to have you here! :-) <3
	5:56pm Linda Lee: hey there PMD! :-)
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - You're going to make me laugh again!
	5:56pm Linda Lee: brava! that's the whole idea! :-D
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Paper Kosmonaut: Everybody trips over the dwarves but Elton's still standing.
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Lol!!!!
	5:57pm Linda Lee: ahahahahaaaa!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: I'll get me coat.
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My second fave Elton song of all time :-)
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And that is that! :-)
	5:58pm Linda Lee: did we hear # 1?
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I hope you've all had as much fun as I have :-)
	♥ 5:58pm PMD: @PD, ha!
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Take Me To The Pilot :-)
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "If in doubt - write a hymn" :-)
	5:59pm Linda Lee: beautiful! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Candy-O'67: Thanks, Georgy! Loved the show today! <3<3

	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm StringOFperils: Thank you DJGG!
	6:00pm Linda Lee: if i'm at all 'off' i know just what to do & then i'm right as rain. you're the best, GG!
	6:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Thank you! And yes there's more :-)

	6:02pm Linda Lee: Happy Birthday, Rich! <3
	♥ 6:13pm coelacanth∅: Thanks GG!
	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm Stanley: Hi GeorgyGirl. Thanks for the Elton Fest. I have to admit it's been an uneasy ride, me and Elton. As a teenager, I pretty much kept quiet about liking his music because it was just so uncool back then to like him that much. In fact, it was the girls who were the biggest fans, in my group. And there have been many a cringeworthy moment (Candle in the Wind being one of them). I did see him live in 74, so all in all, I've been an lifelong admirer. But, please, don't tell anyone.
	10:45am Diane B: Finally got here! Cooking with Elton. Great choices of tracks not the usual. :)

Listener comments!
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Get your platform shows and your feathers on - it's time for Elton! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:01pm Paper Kosmonaut: Ready to face a night with Dwight. Hi GG!
	4:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there PK! :-)
	4:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have been waiting for decades to play Funeral For A Friend on the radio :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:03pm Paper Kosmonaut: No particular reason apart ftom the song itself, I hope?
	4:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Just the song, don't worry! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:03pm Sem: Hello, gg, F&F-ers, the suddenly F&F curious, and all.
	4:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi there Sem!! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:04pm Paper Kosmonaut: I love me a bit of 'old' early Elton. Lots of proggish and classic influences.
	4:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: To be fair, the entirety of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is STUNNING :-)
	4:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - This era of Elton is my fave too :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Paper Kosmonaut: As much as I don't really like Elton's later outings. cough nikita cough
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm StringOFperils: Haven't heard this for a very long time. I liked this whole band; they played together very well.
	4:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - yeah ... kinda with you there Lol
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm StringOFperils: Oh hello, right...
	4:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi SOp! Happy to see you :-)
	4:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One day I want to do Love Lies Bleeding at karaoke :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi Sem! Hi SofP!
	4:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: When Elton rocked, he ROCKED :-)
	4:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is also the album where he fired the entire band immediately afterwards. Lol
	4:09pm Elizabeth: Hello Georgy and everyone!
	4:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Elizabeth, my lovely! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Paper Kosmonaut: That apparently was the regular way of working in those days. Bowie's Spiders were quickly fired too, in spite of - or perhaps because of Mick Ronson's brilliance..
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi Elizabeth!
	4:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - It's crazy to look back on all that, isn't it?
	4:11pm Elizabeth: Sorry I only get to post like one time during the show! I only have 15 minutes on my break until I leave at 5:00!
	4:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth- That's ok! I know you always enjoy the show :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm StringOFperils: Alt music (which this still was) was changing very rapidly at the time as I remember it then. This album was kind of like cleaning out his foot-locker; they blew it all out, and then the world itself was different....and so was Elton. He could become Elton.
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm Paper Kosmonaut: You go, Elizabeth!
	4:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - That is a GREAT observation :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm Paper Kosmonaut: We know you are here with us, Elizabeth.
	4:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This track, featuring the late, great Dusty Springfield on backing vocals :-)
	4:13pm Elizabeth: Hi Paper Kosmonaut!
	♥ 4:13pm solo mon: I waited to arrive to this song!
	4:13pm Elizabeth: Always!
	🎸 ♥ 4:14pm StringOFperils: I never listened to this album, except fo its radio presence. I didn't know Dusty was on it. That's great!
	4:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - Great entrance! :-D
	4:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - they were great friends, too :-)
	♥ 4:14pm solo mon: I swear it is wasn’t on purpose but it is uncanny ;-)
	4:14pm Elizabeth: @ Georgy- your show is one of the highlights of my week! And "I Start Counting " was from the movie- just not Dusty's version- to continue a conversation we had two weeks ago! LOL!
	4:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - LOL! ;-)
	4:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Elizabeth - It genuinely makes me happy to know that you enjoy it so much <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:15pm StringOFperils: Ha ha ha, solo. Hilarious.
	🎸 ♥ 4:16pm StringOFperils: This song is so good. I love this song.
	4:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - me too :-) This is one of my favourites <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:16pm StringOFperils: It's on his real first album too.
	🎸 ♥ 4:16pm Scott67: G'day Georgy & Friggers! 😎❤🐾🌞
	4:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there Scott! :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Paper Kosmonaut: I have to join Elizabeth in the way that since I joined in times of Covid I always look forward to these shows. It feels a bit like going out. (it's night over here in Europe)
	4:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I don't think I need to tell you all that I had the best time putting this week's show together :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hey Scott! How yer diddlin'?
	4:18pm captain mike: All the Girls love Alice! Let Us Not Forget.
	4:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Oh thank you!!! <3
	4:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My love for The Beatles is well documented, but it's Elton who has provided the soundtrack to my life <3
	4:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi captain mike! :-)
	4:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And now - my favourite Elton track of all time :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: it's in a large way because of you, GG, your taste of music and the atmosphere here in the chat make me come back and I really enjoy these hours.
	4:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - That's made me so happy. :-) Genuinely. <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Scott67: Feeling good thanks PK! It does feel like a social outing doesn't it, even if it's only 8:20am here.
	4:21pm captain mike: Hi DJ Georgy Girl Remembering Yellow Brick Road and Quadrophenia as a Christmas double header back in the day...
	🎸 ♥ 4:21pm Paper Kosmonaut: Good morning to you, then, Scott!
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Scott and @PK - And I get to meet so many wonderful people, too, like your lovely selves :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:21pm Paper Kosmonaut: (-:
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @captain mike - WOW!! There's a double bill! :-)
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I am singing VERY loud right now :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm Scott67: 😊
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm Feldpausch: Happy Friday GeorgyGirl! MWAH! Cheers to the rest of the chat gang
	🎸 ♥ 4:23pm Paper Kosmonaut: That indeed sounds incredible, Cpt. Mike.. I have seen my portion of gigs in my days (the late 80's and all through the 90's) but wow.
	4:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: It's the lovely Mr Feldpausch! Hello! Mwah back to you! :-) <3
	4:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You'll notice as well that this is Part One ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi Adam!
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm Paper Kosmonaut: is it strange that I prefer this one on MATW over Tiny Dancer anytime?
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm Feldpausch: Hello Paper Kos!
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm StringOFperils: I've always admired Reg's innovative way of making the piano into the instrument around which to build a rock unit. It wasn't until just a few years ago when he dragged Leon Russell back into the limelight for a bit that I could see and hear one of his main artistic models...because Elton isn't like Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis...there is American gospel in there tho....I'm rambling because I'm enthusiastic about piano in rock arranging, where it's much more than an afterthought. This early material is always astonishing to me.
	4:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - It's a stunner of a track! :-)
	4:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I hadn't realised until fairly recently just how gospel informed what he did :-) And I think, like you say, that he really made the piano a ROCK instrument which is fantastic :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm Paper Kosmonaut: Those orchestral violin stings. Great. Bit like Gainsbourg and Vannier in that same period. Melody Nelson.
	4:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Gosh yes! :-)
	4:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think the piano is always relegated to a very sedate position and yet Elton takes it up to that higher level. :-)
	4:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I bought Captain fantastic the day it came out without having heard a single track. I've only done that with three albums :-)
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And it's my fave Elton album :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: He plays the piano much more like the underlying percussion instrument that it actually is.
	♥ 4:29pm solo mon: Rockin out with my duster!
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - That's it! That's exactly it :-) I'm guessing his days as a pub musician had a lot to do with it, too
	4:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - Rock out with Elton! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:30pm StringOFperils: It was liberating for me, after growing up with my mother torturing Chopin at the piano all the time, to see this little guy in spangly shorts literally kicking out the piano bench and just making it NEW.
	4:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I love that :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm Rich in Washington: Hey, GeorgyGirl! Was listening on my lovely walk and now while making a marinade.
	4:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi there Rich! Did you have a good birthday yesterday? :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm Paper Kosmonaut: Oh! a belated Happy Birthday, Rich!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Sem: Got an early taste of his (&Bernies) music w/ Tumbleweed Connection. Fell in love w/ the poetry, and the voice.
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Rich in Washington: I did. I mean, getting rid of the orange smear was also helpful. Thanks, Paper Kosmonaut!
	4:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - You've got some tracks from that coming up :-)
	4:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Oh yes! A great birthday present ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:34pm Sem: Bless you and your entire family, gg.
	4:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - <3
	4:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Elton once said in an interview, in response to a question about writer's block: "If in doubt, write a hymn" :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm Rich in Washington: This is brilliant, GeorgyGirl!
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm StringOFperils: In addition to piano god-hood, Elton is one of the greatest shoppers who will ever live. That man bought so much stuff. And then got rid of it. And then did it again. The custom eyeglasses alone must fill a museum.
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: hey there GeorgyGirl & frigateers
	4:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Thank you, my lovely! Consider it an extra birthday present :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hey you ancient fish!
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Rich in Washington: Hi coelacanthø!
	4:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - This is true. And then there are all the gifts he bought for everyone else too! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Sem: SoP: including, I have read, two full-sized stuffed gorillas.
	4:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there coelacantho! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:38pm Paper Kosmonaut: You gotta do something with that money...
	4:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - I mean ... what else are you going to spend your money on? LOL
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: hey Paper K! Happy birthday Rich!
	4:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Snap! ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:38pm Paper Kosmonaut: hahaha
	4:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - Three tracks to be precise (I just looked it up) :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Sem: !
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Paper Kosmonaut: This song has a little bit of a deeper mesning in the Netherlands. Those were the words the Dutch military commander used when he was more or less chased away out of Srebrenica in the Balkan wars in the 90's..
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Paper Kosmonaut: meaning
	4:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Wow! I did not know that! That sends a chill!
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm Paper Kosmonaut: Commander Karremans was his name. I guess that translates to Cartman...
	4:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Oh dear! That's an unfortunate name ...!
	4:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: They really did Elton dirty with the Honky Chateau album cover ... it's the photo cropping: "Hide the bald bit!!" Lol
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm Paper Kosmonaut: he should have embraced it.
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm StringOFperils: Rugged, country Elton.
	4:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - All the horror stories in his book about the operations ... And one time when he left the surgery and banged his head on the car door. Ouch!!!
	4:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - he does suit a beard, weirdly!
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm StringOFperils: It's a bit Baldry actually. Never really noticed that before. Hmm.
	4:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Neither did I but now you come to mention it ...
	🎸 ♥ 4:47pm Paper Kosmonaut: He said in the quote he should be at Barclay's Bank... Isn't Barclay's rhyming slang for ...
	4:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - It is, but that's not what he meant. Although you just made me laugh very loud ;-)
	4:52pm Linda Lee: hello my darlin! i'm here just for you, GG. :-)
	4:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Linda Lee!! So happy to see you! :-D <3
	4:53pm Linda Lee: i'm thrilled to see & hear you dear!
	4:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - How are you? How are things? How goes the adventure? :-)
	4:54pm Linda Lee: it's adventurous! i'm fine. very pleased to be where i am. thank you love! :-) how are you?
	4:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "With a cold vacant stare of undue concern he said 'Nine'". BERNIE YOU'RE A STAR! I love that line :-)
	4:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I'm very very well and happy :-) I was super excited for today's show :-) So I'm in my happy place :-)
	4:56pm Linda Lee: beautiful! so glad! :-)
	4:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - You've inspired me to live with the seasons :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Rich in Washington: Love this documentary style show, GG! It's wonderful!
	4:57pm Linda Lee: & here's my favorite Elton tune! brava!
	4:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Thank you! :-) I wanted to experiment a little bit and try something new for the Flange. I had a lot of fun doing it so I shall do some more :-)
	4:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: Damn. Those early Elton years are just really good stuff.
	4:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - When you hear it all together like this it's really extraordinary just how good he is :-) I mean I know he's good ... but it's nice to hear it all together :-)
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: @GG: it also has to do with the order and the choice of songs. You have done that very well, Georgy.
	4:59pm Linda Lee: alas, that 'cold vacant stare' line reminds me of a video i saw from one of Elton's garden parties.
	4:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Thank you! :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:59pm Paper Kosmonaut: And let's not forget Bernie Taupin here.
	4:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - is that the one with Mick in it? :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm StringOFperils: True PK. A lot of magic that you cannot bottle there, that duo.
	5:00pm Linda Lee: indeed. my god, just deadly! :-D
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I was just about to type that! :-) Equal credit to the extraordinary writing skills of the fabulous Bernie Taupin :-)
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - The first time I saw that I could not stop laughing ;-)
	5:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This song is SO beautiful that it makes me sob <3
	5:01pm Linda Lee: if anything could scare a person away from success totally..
	🎸 ♥ 5:01pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Georgy! Tuning in! Yay, Sir Elton!!
	5:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there Candy, my lovely! :-D <3
	5:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The lyrics in this are just divine
	5:02pm Linda Lee: hey Candy-O!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:03pm Candy-O'67: Hi, Linda Lee!
	5:03pm Linda Lee: how are you?
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep. Crying again.
	5:04pm Linda Lee: oh my..
	5:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Wasn't that lovely?
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm StringOFperils: I wonder if he ever played that for his first son, when number 2 came along.
	5:05pm Linda Lee: it was. :-)
	5:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I have just stopped crying ... You're going to set me off again! Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:05pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi Candy-O!
	5:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Another thing that made me cry. Elton has said in interviews that in the non-sexual sense, Bernie is the love of his life. That made me sob <3
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm StringOFperils: It's very sweet that you're living it GG, and not just playing it. That is wonderful. :)
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - If there was a camera here you'd see me crying, laughing, dancing, singing ... :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm Candy-O'67: Howdy, Paper Kosmonaut!
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm StringOFperils: Truth be told, I am a bit too. (blush)
	5:07pm Linda Lee: has anyone here seen 'rocket man'? my expectations for rock biopics are really in the crapper after the Freddie Mercury film..
	5:08pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Good! :-) That makes me happy. I love this music so much that I am compelled to share it, and the one thing that makes me the happiest in life is making other people happy :-)
	5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I haven't ... but only because I think it's more like a jukebox musical, and I really, really hate jukebox musicals ... the book on the other hand is fabulous!
	5:09pm Linda Lee: gee, i'm startin to suspect i've got a heart of stone!
	🎸 ♥ 5:09pm Paper Kosmonaut: @GG 5:08 and that is what makes you such a good DJ.
	5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Noo ... You've gotten emotional over songs before. I know that :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:10pm Paper Kosmonaut: really mean that.
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Thank you :-) That means everything to me <3
	5:10pm Linda Lee: whew. thank Goddesses! :-D
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is the song that everyone sings along to ... but it's impossible to sing along to without sounding like a cat. Lol
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Altogether now! ;-)
	5:11pm Linda Lee: Moowwwwwwowowowwwww ..
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm Candy-O'67: I saw it, Linda! I thought it was good :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm StringOFperils: I was JUST thinking about how hard this is to sing....I've often failed.
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - That's the one! ;-)
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - I'm giving it a good college try ;-)
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Also, what is a Vadka and Tanic? ;-)
	5:12pm Linda Lee: hahah!! it's true. what did you like about it, Candy-O?
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: GrooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOund!
	5:13pm Linda Lee: ROAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOowowowowowwwww..
	5:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - You heard me! ;-) Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm Paper Kosmonaut: Vadka, Tanic, Elton's pronounciation has its ups and downs. 'Aaahm Sti-Sstannnin! Feelelika lillekit! lookelike sow sefiver!'
	5:14pm Linda Lee: i did!!! ow owowowwwwww!!
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - That one took me ages to figure out. Lol
	5:15pm Linda Lee: i'll confess to a real preference for early EJ. the sound was mysterious & new at the time. pretty cool!
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm Candy-O'67: I thought the storyline was good about his life, songs were done well by Taron Egerton. I'd definitely watch it again! They had the fashion down, too! :))
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm Paper Kosmonaut: @ Linda Lee: exactly!
	5:15pm Linda Lee: i prefer early Bowie too. maybe i have a feeling for the strugglers.
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Oh absolutely! The Too Low For Zero album was a nice return, but for me from 76 onwards it trails off a bit.
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I just think the 80s were a disaster for most people. Lol
	5:16pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: "WELL, HELLO" to you Dear GG & Dear Listeners.
	5:16pm Linda Lee: ah! that fashion!! good!
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm Candy-O'67: I usually prefer early stuff of this era of bands, too!
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Photocopy!!! Hello!!! How are you?
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Candy - Yep! Lots more soul :-)
	5:17pm Linda Lee: the 80s were not good to the big rock stars, no.
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Candy-O'67: Yes, everything went downhill in the '80's for the most part! haha! We did get some good goth out of that decade, though!
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - In soooo many ways. Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Paper Kosmonaut: For me, it's like how they evolve, mainly. Elton went a more commercial road in the middle of the 70's, Bowie kept his more experimental until Let's Dance.
	5:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think all the big 70s people have one huge moment in the 80s - Bowie with the Let's Dance album like PK says. But I guess everyone has their time and their era.
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Paper Kosmonaut: Muutama suomalainen sana! Hei Photocopy!
	5:19pm Linda Lee: suppose they all figured out they were aging for real ..?
	5:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Could be!
	5:19pm Linda Lee: a bit of a bummer, i guess. :-)
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I mean Elton has said that he'll do one off gigs and charity things so there's always hope that I'll get to see him play Brighton pride one year. I will be right at the front and nothing will shift me ;-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Candy-O'67: I so hope you get to do that, Georgy! If he ever comes to the states again, I gotta go :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: And when they get old, all of them turn into jazz standard crooners. (-;
	5:20pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:16 DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm OK-ish, thanks, how it is going over there? I gotta admit I buy too many records as I have brought two HUGE, HEAVY parcels home from post office, just exhausted from carting all that home!
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Candy - Definitely on my bucket list :-)
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Ooo! What do you have?
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Cha Cha! That's a good problem to have!! ;)
	5:21pm Linda Lee: wow. i was once such a proud born new yorker i took offense at this song!!
	5:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Thank you for your email by the way! I have made a note of when I can do that for you :-)
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - :-)
	5:22pm Linda Lee: i'd sit there & say, well, f*ck you, ya bitch! :-D
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This song resonates for me. I found out that some of my ancestors were from Stepney :-)
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I got some semi-Cockney blood! ;-)
	5:24pm Linda Lee: so then: why did she get her kicks in Stepney, not in Knightsbridge any more?
	5:25pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:21 Candy-O'67: I agree, even if records are more expensive (in Europe) nowadays, if there were no customs etc. I'd spend (probably too much) money buying records from USA as it's soooo much cheaper to buy vintage vinyl from there...
	5:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Lots of pubs and music halls :-)
	5:25pm Linda Lee: ah! that one always caught me up. ta! ;-)
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Stepney is part of the old East End :-)
	5:27pm Linda Lee: ah. got it. :-)
	5:28pm Linda Lee: does it really pay to buy records from the US generally? they're not cheap here either, any more.
	5:28pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Goedenavond Paper Kosmonaut, you know what I thought the same thing re:Gainsbourg & Madman Across The Water when I was outdoors with this show as the soundtrack. Those strings indeed. I checked, turns out Melody Nelson was out already in March 1971 and they were still recording Madman Across The Water in August that year. So.... maybe somebody was listening while writing the arrangements.
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - It depends. Sometimes it works out cheaper even with the postage, which is bizarre, I agree! Especially when the exhange rate is good :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm Paper Kosmonaut: Oh- i have to get back on that earlier Srebrenica-quote I mentioned: It wasn't the song title but the album title I was pointing at. 'Don't shoot the piano player"
	5:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - That could be true! Elton was always a voracious music collector :-)
	5:30pm Linda Lee: wow! how awful!
	5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Ah! Isn't that a Charles Aznavour movie too?
	5:30pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:21 DJ GeorgyGirl: I have TOO MANY records.... BUT - among them one I bought per your recommendation: Ringo!
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Paper Kosmonaut: Could be, GG. Not so into Azna.
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Ooo! Let me know what you think of it :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm StringOFperils: @photocopy > That''s really interesting, Never realized the obvious similarity between those string parts before. Melody Nelson. How 'bout that.
	5:31pm Linda Lee: i'm pretty sure the film is 'shoot the piano player'..
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I think it's a Nouvelle Vague one, kind of hard boiled. I shall have to look that up :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm StringOFperils: Truffaut. yes.
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I think you're right! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm StringOFperils: Charles Aznavour stars in it.
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm Paper Kosmonaut: Okay. That may be interesting. All those french singers acted in movies and all actors made albums.
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @SOp - Truffaut! Thank you :-)
	5:32pm Linda Lee: just had a look. yes, that's the film. https://www.criterion.com/films/764-shoot-the-piano-player
	5:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That's the one!
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My grey cells were working overtime there ;-)
	5:33pm Linda Lee: released in the beautiful year of 1960.
	5:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - A very good year! :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 5:34pm Paper Kosmonaut: About Vannier (the Gainsbourg Melody nelson connection): Vannier made a very interesting record last year with Mike Patton (of Faith No More). It sounds so French and Gainsbourgy.
	5:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Mike Patton does so many interesting things!
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Paper Kosmonaut: correction: in 2019 already. Where's 2020?
	5:35pm Linda Lee: it was a very good year .. for city girls .. something something up the stairs ..
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Yeah ... that year. Lol
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Paper Kosmonaut: mikepatton.bandcamp.com...
	5:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Ah yes! Frank! :-)
	5:36pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:31 StringOFperils: for me this was a reminder:"hmmmm, I really have to check out Madman Across The Water" - as I have never heard the album in my life! L'Histoire De Melody Nelson on the other hand many times. It could be said Elton's voice is less damaged by smoking than Gainsbourg's was...
	♥ 5:37pm solo mon: Ello hay! Just back from a meeting! Back on the Elton train- choo choo
	5:37pm Linda Lee: that song always fascinated me. the lyrics!
	5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Serge had that French/Gaulois thing going on for sure! :-)
	5:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I love where the music goes too. :-)
	5:38pm Linda Lee: yes! for sure. really lovely.
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm Paper Kosmonaut: Gitanes, day and night. I presume he even made love with a gitane in his mouth.
	5:38pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:37 DJ GeorgyGirl: Yes, except his brand was GITANES! These things are important ;)
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There will be a part two of the Elton show except not next week because ... it's Andrew Loog Oldham's birthday! So lots of Immediate records, and some Donovan, and some guys from London ;-)
	5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Gitanes! My bad :-)
	5:39pm Linda Lee: oh! 'how to make a homely man attractive, step 1' ..
	5:39pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:38 Paper Kosmonaut: I really can not imagine that any other way since you pointed it out :)
	5:39pm Martinibomb: Hellooooooo Deejay georgy! <3
	5:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi MB! :-) <3
	5:39pm Linda Lee: ooh! Andrew Oldham! fabulous!
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi MB!
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - can't remember the name of the band he managed ;-)
	5:41pm Martinibomb: elloo paper k, linda, photocopy :)
	5:41pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:40 DJ GeorgyGirl: Vierivät Kivet?
	5:41pm Linda Lee: oh! hang on .. the name's right ... under my thumb..
	5:41pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:41 Martinibomb: Good Evening MB!
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - :-)
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I see what you did there ;-)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: i'd love to read his memoir, actually. haven't picked it up yet.
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - It really is good :-)
	5:43pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Anyways, looking forward to that Andrew Loog Oldham birthday show!
	5:43pm Linda Lee: is it? brilliant! i'm glad.
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Yay! :-)
	5:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - It's funny and sad, and he doesn't pull any punches at all. :-)
	5:44pm Linda Lee: wouldn't think so. :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm Sem: Been a lovely time with ej and gg. Thanks so much.
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you for being here Sem! :-) <3
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm Paper Kosmonaut: And this one reminds me rhythm-wise of Gainsbourg's 'titicaca" from Vu de l' exterieur.
	5:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I'm going to have to revisit Serge!
	🎸 ♥ 5:46pm Paper Kosmonaut: (but that one is from 1973)
	5:46pm Linda Lee: i friended the man on fb some time back, but alas, fb is mainly for marketing, i think.
	🎸 ♥ 5:46pm Paper Kosmonaut: lol @ Linda Lee
	5:47pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:45 Paper Kosmonaut: you seem to know your Gainsbourg, cool!
	5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - I love how he always manages to work the Stones into every comment ;-)
	5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Prepare yourselves for some singing next :-)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: hahahaha!! does he? that's sad!
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm Paper Kosmonaut: @ photocopy: Gainsbourg is great and I have (I think almost) all of his work.
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You knew this was coming ;-)
	5:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hold me closer, Tony Danza :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm StringOFperils: Knew THAT was coming.
	🎸 ♥ 5:49pm Paper Kosmonaut: hahaha
	5:49pm Linda Lee: i always wondered about 'pirate smile' here. was she missing teeth in front?
	5:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've always wondered about the pirate smile - mischievous maybe?
	5:50pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:48 Paper Kosmonaut: I need 5to get there too, I don't have enough of his work. That DVD set (with "Melody Nelson" TV film) is so awesome.
	5:50pm Linda Lee: we're still doi'n it, kid.
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here we go
	♥ 5:50pm Domenic: Hi everyone! was stuck in a work related Teams meeting... Its so awesome to hear Elton.
	5:51pm Linda Lee: that's what you get for testing doubloons with your canines
	5:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dom! Glad you're enjoying it! :-)
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm StringOFperils: All that sugar cane rum, and nary a toothbrush for a thousand leagues.
	♥ 5:52pm Domenic: Georgy. I just love what you do here on Sheena's. Your just awesome.
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm Paper Kosmonaut: @ Photocopy: Melody is great indeed but all of his late sixties, early seventies stuff is exceptional. But he has had so many different styles.
	5:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dear Bernie, Why did your ex-wife have a "pirate smile"? Thanks, The Flange & Frigate
	5:52pm Linda Lee: arrrrrr.
	5:52pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:49 Linda Lee: since mentioned that, it reminded me immediately of Incredible String Band's Licorice Mc Kechnie
	5:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Dom - Oh!!! You're making me blush! :-)
	5:53pm Linda Lee: darn right! seconded! <3
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: For years I wondered what "sheets of Lennon" were as well
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You're all lovely :-) <3
	5:54pm Linda Lee: just like a man, eh? 'you had a busy day today .. so lay me.'
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One more track after this! :-)
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This was SO MUCH FUN :-D
	5:54pm Linda Lee: 'in streets of Lennon' ..
	♥ 5:54pm PMD: Happened upon this. Great so far! Will have to go back to the archives!
	♥ 5:54pm Domenic: In a way i consider Elton modern England's George Frederich Handel.... Incidentally he we also gay. and Elton will be buried in Westminster Abbey like he is. Maybe with a statue too to boot,
	♥ 5:55pm PMD: Hi @ Linda Lee!
	5:55pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: The best soundbite tonight was indeed about his spending of money, "I don't get crazy" - of course you never have Elton dear...
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You have Don-O coming up next! www.wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm Scott67: Thanks for the educational journey Georgy. I never really listened to Elton growing up, but you remind me just how much I really did hear & enjoy. 😎❤
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you PMD! :-)
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Photocopy - Lol!
	5:55pm Linda Lee: no, he only hires armies of dwarves for his garden parties.
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Scott - Oh I am glad! Lovely to have you here! :-) <3
	5:56pm Linda Lee: hey there PMD! :-)
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - You're going to make me laugh again!
	5:56pm Linda Lee: brava! that's the whole idea! :-D
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Paper Kosmonaut: Everybody trips over the dwarves but Elton's still standing.
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - Lol!!!!
	5:57pm Linda Lee: ahahahahaaaa!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: I'll get me coat.
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My second fave Elton song of all time :-)
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And that is that! :-)
	5:58pm Linda Lee: did we hear # 1?
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I hope you've all had as much fun as I have :-)
	♥ 5:58pm PMD: @PD, ha!
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Linda Lee - Take Me To The Pilot :-)
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: "If in doubt - write a hymn" :-)
	5:59pm Linda Lee: beautiful! :-)

	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm Stanley: Hi GeorgyGirl. Thanks for the Elton Fest. I have to admit it's been an uneasy ride, me and Elton. As a teenager, I pretty much kept quiet about liking his music because it was just so uncool back then to like him that much. In fact, it was the girls who were the biggest fans, in my group. And there have been many a cringeworthy moment (Candle in the Wind being one of them). I did see him live in 74, so all in all, I've been an lifelong admirer. But, please, don't tell anyone.
	10:45am Diane B: Finally got here! Cooking with Elton. Great choices of tracks not the usual. :)
