One time appearance. Played on one other song too.
Not even sure of his purpose as you can't hear a lick of piano. Maybe Sir Eltons piano was tuned to sound like a violin? That would seem more plausible than a silent piano and an invisible strings section.

Yeah, I figured it had to be something like that but instead of googling it I figured I'd share a killer song and let others here let me know.
Thanks

"Lick of piano" at 3:53 and 4:53. Something only the great and powerful Sir could handle. No one else would lick a piano so vigorously.

I'm not sure how on earth I could have missed those solos. Must be slipping in my old age.
//Maybe that was the UK-USA sound dubed version where 500 notes actually work out to one or two? Kinda like you see in old samurai flicks?
