For those of you who don’t know, I’ve had my issues with alcohol in the past and have since been practicing something called Moderation Management. Part of MM is that every now and then you completely abstain from alcohol for 30 days to realize the effect that alcohol has on your health and your mental state. I’m on day 9 of a 30 right now, and one thing I’ve noticed is that I’m most creative when alcohol isn’t such a big part of the equation. At least musically.
So without further ado here is a rough track that I was in the mood to play and sing for me probably as much as anyone else. Credit to Elton John obviously, for not only writing and performing one of my favorite songs, but for being himself in an age where it was a pretty dangerous thing to do so. He and many others opened up the path for me to do the same in a world they completely changed. Feel free to take it as your ballad of the week and sing along, and be whatever kind of Rocket Man (or Woman) you want. Sincerely,

Chris

P.S. I stole your song Tim.
