I began listening to Elton John in the car with my older sister Susan! When she got her drivers license when I was just six years old. Susan would pick me up from school, we would get a slushy,go for a ride and listen to Elton on the 8 track tape player in the car! The car was my grandfathers big old Oldsmobile and it was MAGICAL for a six year old. I felt so cool and it is one of my best memories with my sister! How many of you remember 8 track tapes?

8 tracks were obsolete by the time I was born in '89, however when I was real young I remember riding with my Aunt Debbie (she's been gone for 20 years now) in her Oldsmobile Cutless Supreme listening to Billy Joel on 8 track in her 1978 Oldsmobile Cutless Supreme on the way to a family reunion. I was 7 or 8 at the time.

My first concert at age 16. Saw him many times after that and watched shy young boy develop into an amazing artist. "Tumbleweed Connection" is my all time favorite. The friendship between Bernie and Elton was amazing. The benefit he did for his bandmate Davy Johnstone in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry House (I was there), outdoor sit down on a towel concerts and indoor packed to the rafters -- they were all extraordinary.

What a rush to have been in that string section. Madman Across the Water broke new ground as it won the orchestral community's nod of approval. The lack-luster attempts in earlier recordings to "pad" pop music with strings - or something trying to sound like a string section - were shunned. The arrangements for the album by Paul Buckmaster are simply perfect.

It always was considered one of his greatest, mainly in the states, but it appeared on Elton's 2002 Greatest Hits release...he released one five years later to coincide with his 60th birthday, and they missed out SO MANY songs, including this one. I think he should release a 'Best of the Early Years' collection, and this would probably be track 1.
