One of his good friends in Caleb Quaye, who played guitar in Bluesology with Reginald Dwight before he was Elton. Played on his first couple of albums. Spectacular guitar player.

Now, Quaye is an Evangelical Christian who instructs church worship leaders through the Foursquare Denomination. I saw him a couple of months ago at my church, and Quaye specifically mentioned that he talks to Elton regularly and witnesses to him, too. You never know....

Didn't Caleb Quaye also play with Ralph McTell? "Old Brown Dog" comes to mind. Great guitar solo on that piece. Didn't know he was still around.

That's interesting. There's always hope.

He also did some early production work ("Lady Samantha," maybe?), and played on "Rock of the Westies."

Spectacular guitar player.

Yes, he is. Maybe not as good as Davey Johnstone, but still really good. Caleb's intro to "Ballad of the Well-Known Gun" is impeccable.

Wow, I didn't know that. See, we are told to pray for our enemies. Stranger conversions have happened -- I seem to recall that this guy who had a hand in stoning Christians eventually converted and became pretty influential...
