While living in Nashville I had the amazing experience of working with Nigel Olsson (drums) and Dee Murray (bass); from the legendary Elton John Band. I’ve never received a greater honor than when they played on my song “Waiting To Hit Bottom”. After many requests I'm releasing all footage from the recording session with Nigel Olsson. This was the last time Nigel and Dee Murray appeared on a recording together.

Fascinating behind the scenes with the Great Nigel Olsson! What a cool song. Significant that Dee & Nigel played their last together with you.
To be honest I still can’t believe it happened. The unlikelihood of meeting Dee and Nigel was mind blowing. But to have them play on a song is still beyond my wildest imagination. Thanks for watching!
That was excellent! So cool to see Nigel drumming on your song. Fantastic song!
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching! So glad you enjoyed it!
Reminiscing! Amazing footage and journey into what must have been a mind-blowing experience for you. The only EJ band members that I ever met and chatted with (1/2 hour) were John Jorgenson and Charlie Morgan in Seattle in February of 1998. John was particularly kind & charming (and talented!). Thank you for sharing this treasured footage. It must bring back wonderful memories...
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Great insight behind the scenes! Fascinating to see how things come together in a musician’s life. Thanks for sharing 👏
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Stellar! Bristol! Skookum! The glimpses into your musical journey are inspiring. Many Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for listening! And thank you for the kind words!
Wow, that must have been a HUGE experience for you! What an accomplishment for you to share studio time with these two pros. How many musicians get to experience recording with their idols?
Thank you, again. Your enthusiasm really helps propel your content which is genuine, honest, and so relatable. Seeing these things from your perspective is always a fun and interesting experience.
Great work as usual, Jon. 👍
Wow what a great compliment. I really pour my heart into my videos so I appreciate your kind words. Thank you. More to come!
@@JonBlackstone you're welcome Jon. I also wanted to say that as soon as you mentioned the "Don't Let the Sun" drum fill, of course that played instantly in my head. Iconic fill! And I couldn't agree more that the guys in Elton's band have gone underappreciated for too long.
The other thing I dig about your channel, it's your ability to underscore and highlight some gem-like performances and parts. I think it's because you're both a fan, and a musician, and both of those things really come out in your work. I think that's a key tie in having people really identify with your point of view.
Yessssss
So cool!
Thanks for watching!
That was fantastic!! How on earth did you get Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray to play on your record? How did that all come about?
I don’t blame you guys one bit for geeking out over Nigel’s equipment, and they later to find out that was “the kit” that played on all those songs we love so much.
What an unforgettable experience that must have been! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! I assumed you had seen the episode where I talk about meeting Dee and Nigel. This is the very first video I ever made. It was years before I launched my channel properly. Recording with Dee Murray & Nigel Olsson

@@JonBlackstone and that was the first video I have ever seen by you! ... keep up the brilliant job you are doing!
And how about more sweet spots?
Thanks!
@@JonBlackstone I most certainly did enjoy it! I will go back and check it out!!
@@labeaxyzThanks for the kind words! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to give some kudos! More “Sweet Spots” on the way!
😍
Just wondering what did he charge for a session like that?
I go into more detail in this video. I can’t remember off the top of my head. I think you’ll enjoy this anyway.Recording with Dee Murray & Nigel Olsson

What's the song playing in the background at the start of this video?
Everytime you hear those amazing drum fills it’s the isolated drums from “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me”. If you listen with earbuds you’ll hear it in the background. Thanks for watching!
My bad, jon, not the song I was referring to. I definitely recognize don't let the sun. It's the song that kicks in pretty audibly around the 2-minute mark:)
