I wanted to start this year off by covering one of my favorite songs by Elton John. After listening to the Disney+ stream of his Farewell concert, and checking out plenty of early performances on YouTube, I wanted to cover this song.

The drums were played on the keyboard using Sonar’s Steven Slate Black Bird library. The piano was performed on Nord’s White Grand sample (which is still my personal favorite). I played my five string bass with my bass pod, the MarbleHead guitar mixed with the Vox amp, and a little shaker here and there.

Then with my Victor Reader Stream and mixer, I recreated the crowd using plenty of samples Brian sent me a while ago.

This was a lot of fun for me, and I hope you all enjoy it too!!! (Smile)
