  • Much to my shock and surprise a complete stranger just came up to me and said, "I really love your channel". As of today I have 8,910 subscribers so I find it pretty remarkable anyone recognize me out of the billions of content creators on RUclips. We ended up having a great conversation about music which made it even better! Thank you to everyone who has subscribed, encouraged and engaged with such great comments. Lots more to come!

      Thanks Joe. It's a small thing but it's cool to actually meet one of my community of subscribers. Having a RUclips channel can feel a little surreal sometimes. 😎

    It being that Nigel Olsson and his brothers are my cousins and having been to many Elton shows with my family as Nigels guests, I've watched your video's about the elton john band with keen interest, so.... Next time your stopped in the street by a bloke saying 'Oi John!!! Nice videos mate' ..it could be me.. 😉😎😀✌️...

      Hello Andy, thank you for the very kind comments! I worked with Nigel and dee in Nashville although I don’t know whether he will remember me or not. Please tell Nigel I would love to interview him for my channel. Promised him that with my musical background that it would be his definitive interview. Please show him my interview with Caleb Quaye as a reference to the style of interview I would like to do (mo like a documentary than an interview). I do hope to meet you someday if you’re ever in the Seattle area!

      Your interview with Caleb was very insightful and considered, Caleb seems a really nice bloke...good stuff..
      I really enjoy your videos and as I said I will pass on your message.. keep up your good work ✌️👍

      @@Andy_1964 Thank you Andy! In case it helps Nigel remember me; he played on my album in Nashville around 1994. He played on tracks that Dee had previously recorded bass. The last time I spoke with Nigel was at Madison Square Garden when Elton played In November 2001. I remember he always had a great memory for people so he’ll likely remember me. I would like to produce a career overview similar to the Caleb video. Thanks for the kind words!

      I confess it's a boost I really needed. I've been completely demonetized by RUclips because I play more than 10 seconds of each song. That means I don't make any income from my videos. I wasn't doing them for money; but I love it so much I would love to do it as my full time job. So after feeling discouraged for so long it was a nice encouragement! Thank you for watching!
