The first of our two songs today actually comes from today's album! A mere coincidence, I assure you..

As for the second tune for today, apparently Sir Elton enjoyed putting a song on yesterday's countdown so much that he stuck around today for an encore...


26. YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES-JAMES TAYLOR (1971)
Album: Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon

A quiet number that is one of his loveliest. Not much more than JT, his guitar, and a couple of harmony vocals. It is more than enough.
An end of the evening, 2am nightcap of a song. I usually DO close my eyes when I listen, and just let it wash over me.




25. GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD-ELTON JOHN (1973)
Album: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

A devastatingly gorgeous song, it's my favorite by Elton in a long list of Elton songs I like. I couldn't get enough of this tune back
in the day, and it still sounds darn good to me. Elton's vocal here is top notch.

Woo hoo! Billy, Don't Be a Hero is gonna be the top 25!

Along with The Night Chicago Died and Shannon

Sugar, Sugar is going to be #1

Or maybe Yummy Yummy Yummy.

I'm pretty sure TBone can still be swayed.

Maybe for what Bryce Harper is supposedly going to want on his next contract. Better get that bake sale started.

And let's not forget that MacArthur Park is waiting in the dark.
