Blue Moves

I'm your host, George Matlock.

Well, now, as we speed ever closer to the 50th anniversary of Elton's landmark double album, Blue Moves, on the 22nd of October, we have a super surprise lined up for you fans out there.

Listen to this one.

We have a songstress who this year also celebrates a 50th anniversary of her very own, that of winning a Grammy Award for a Neil Sedaka-penned song with her then-husband, Daryl Dragon.

So, thank you so much for joining us on the Encore show.

Now, we're excited to hear your story, Tony, and it is a rich one at that.

hey everybody and welcome back to dave side one i'm dave your host over here at art of listening records where every record has a story and every story starts on side one this week we're talking about the records that became part of my life not necessarily the records i think are the greatest the records that got tangled up with people places Bad decisions, good friends, and versions of me I can still recognize when I put the needle down.

I can't give you a great origin story for this copy.

I don't remember exactly how Blue Moves entered my collection.

What I remember is how it felt.
