Elton John started playing piano at 3 yrs of age and took a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music — London at the amazing age of 11 yrs old , a child prodigy of music in this respect, and continued on from there. The songs they produced 30 years ago are still as exciting and appreciated by fans of all ages today as they were 30 yrs ago, wrinkles, grey hair or not…..the point is they are two of the greatest musicians / performers the World has seen and they proved again that last night. …that is.. if one appreciates truly great performances of music. . This is one of the many reasons they deserved a standing ovation before they started their performance to a packed house….and the audience continued to exhibit that apprecation throughout the concert. In many ways it was a privilege to be able to attend their performance last night ..and a night to be remembered of great music and these two amazing artists who made it happen… Fantastic…
