Six Degrees of Elton John
I’ve been feeling a lot like this these days…I know I’m supposed to be doing something, but it doesn’t get done…and I can’t say that it bothers me. I actually caught myself talking to a butterfly yesterday and a bird today. And I just had to giggle.

I’m approaching a milestone in a couple of months (my 60th birthday), something I haven’t been looking forward to, quite frankly. I know I should embrace it (“Hey, look at me! I’m 60! I’m fabulous! Look at what I’ve accomplished!”), but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.

I can dream. And lately, I’ve been dreaming about what songs I would love to hear Elton and the Band play during their 3-year Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. So I thought I’d put together my list, with a few caveats: I’ll limit the set list to 30 songs…

I haven’t quite stepped into Christmas yet, so I decided to play around with a classic and make an Elton Christmas… On the first day of Christmas, Sir Elton gave to me…An angel in your tree On the second day of Christmas, Sir Elton gave to me…Two teas with sugar…
