Farewell Yellow Brick Road, The Final
Tour, Sir Elton

Just finished watching it today. As someone

very familiar with his music (Saw him in 1998!)

and a huge fan, it was great to remember

what song he was doing by his first few notes.

It was an EXCELLENT concert and a fitting

farewell to a musical icon. Highly recommend 

it to everyone who is a fan! Streaming on

Disney+ 🎼💜

Jerry Lee Lewis died today at age 87. His 

private life was controversial but he was a

musical icon who paved the way for so many

Elvis, the new movie is available for streaming on HBOMAX. I enjoyed watching it. The actors are excellent in their roles. The creators took a few liberties with the facts, but not enough to affect the overall quality of the movie. I gave it 8 out of 10 stars.
