Elton John - Have Mercy on the Criminal

[1forlooker]

I love Bernie making a deal with God: "Lord, you gotta help me, now I ain't never gonna sin again, just take these chains from around my leg, sweet Jesus, I'll be your friend." We all know that this is an impossible restriction on sin. Davey is again fantastic on guitar, just as he was in 1973 in Denver Colorado (no orchestra but still was a very nice arrangement). Thanks.

This masterpiece was the result of the arranagment of Paul Buckmaster, arguably one of the greatest musical arrangers in the history of the pop-rock era. You NEVER hear arrangements like this anymore.

This double cassette used to block out my parents fighting.

@therzrking

sorry to hear that...kids dont ask to be brought into this world...parents do that to them...and forget that...when they fight and abuse each other they really hurt their children...
