Day 134: Daniel, Elton John

Time for some more Elton John. This song reminds me of a holiday we had when I was about 5 years old at the Hydro Majestic in the Blue mountains, Australia.

In that hotel there was a jukebox and this was one of the songs that you could select. My brother Mark and I used to spend the evening putting 10 cent coins into the jukebox and playing various songs including this one. The other thing they had in the hotel were some really cool pinball machines, which reminds me of another song by Elton John (see tomorrow’s post).
