Thank you.
I actually have a gig late October.
I will see if I can get some video done.
I am also hoping to setup a live YouTube gig soon. I have permission to post the link in this forum. Just need to work out a good time to ensure it is not in the middle of the night for everyone in UK etc.
Cheers
Ron
Hi Ron,
Your finger work does this great song a lot of justice. I also enjoyed your impersonation of Sir Elton on vox, yet you made it your own style. Nicely done all around and I really enjoyed it! Your timing seems on the money as well.
Jolly good and looking forward to more!

Thank you for that Ron. I’ve had a quick mooch and probably out of my price bracket at the moment for the level I’m at.
I’ll just have to enjoy yours for now.
That was awesome man keep it up!
Cheers Byron.
Very nice!
That is a really slick cover Ron and a great guitar arrangement. One of Reg Dwight’s finest and I was blown away hearing this for the first time, when his first album came up late 60s. You have really done it justice. Chapeau Sir !
Thank you Gregory.
Thx Toby. Appreciate your comments. You had me on Reg Dwight’s then I remembered
