Unknowingly entranced by Stevie

Funny story.

I used to listen to "That's why they call it the blues" by Elton John pretty compulsively, for the sole purpose of getting to that amazing HARMONICA SOLO.

The more I listened to the song, the more the solo was sending chills flowing all over me, and everytime I was thinking "they've hired an amazing musician for this part, surely one of the many genius session musicians forever unknown to the public..." 😂😂

Until the moment I thought: they will not remain unknown to ME!

I will remember their name!

And decided to check out the name of the player 😂😂 then it became very clear why that solo felt like magic: it was.

(In my defense, y'all already know a LOT of songs from that era feature a harmonica solo so I thought it was one among the many!)
