I love how Elton always says ‘we’ and gives Bernie the recognition he rightly reserves

You can tell Stephen is just THRILLED to have Elton there. And Elton was relaxed, and talkative.

I love that Elton switched glasees with him that was adorable.

'Your Song' is the greatest song ever written and it will never be duplicated.

Elton John appeared solo at AARP's convention several years ago and his comment at the end of his performance was that he wanted to come to entertain us because we "...were the people who made him famous." I'll never forget those words and will always respect him for his sensitivity and his remarkable performance that night.

The joy that Eltons songs have brought to the world is unimaginable.

Caribou was actually before Captain Fantastic, but we'll let that one slide ;)
As Paul McCartney once said that we the fans are probably better fans of his work than he is, so sometimes they forget.

Stephen is so good with guests. He can adapt to different personalities so easy.

'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', that's the one who has the most magic for me,
somehow I get Christmassy feelings when listening to it.
