by Dell Sweet (Author) The idea had been Mike’s, a well-timed proposal during a particularly grueling quarterly review. “We’re losing it,” he’d declared, his voice cutting through the drone of economic forecasts. “We’re soft. This city… it’s made us soft. We need to remember what it means to be men, to rely on ourselves, not on algorithms and assistants.” The consensus had been swift, almost too swift, as if each man had been waiting for the permission, the justification, to escape. The destination: the Southern Tier of Upstate New York, far from the manicured trails and well-trodden paths of more popular wilderness areas. Mike had painted a picture of untamed forests, pristine lakes, and a silence so profound it would be deafening after the ceaseless roar of the city. #Thriller #Drama #KU #Adventure #Survival

Early Life and Career
Elton John’s musical journey began at age three when he started playing the piano. He attended the Royal Academy of Music on a scholarship and later formed a band called Bluesology. In 1967, Elton John met Bernie Taupin after responding to an ad in the New Musical Express. They began writing songs together, starting a lifelong partnership that would produce some of the most iconic hits in music history.
Rise to Fame
Elton John’s breakthrough came with his second album, “Elton John,” released in 1970, which featured the hit single “Your Song.” This was followed by a string of successful albums, including “Tumbleweed Connection,” “Honky Château,” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” Some of his most notable hits include ² ³:
“Rocket Man”
“Crocodile Rock”
“Tiny Dancer”
“Philadelphia Freedom”
“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” (with Kiki Dee)
