- The Woodsmen Kindle Edition
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

Elton John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, in Pinner, Middlesex, England, is a music legend known for his captivating stage presence and timeless hits. Here’s a brief overview of his background and history:
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)
- “Candle in the Wind 1997” (rewritten in dedication to Diana, Princess of Wales)
Biggest Hits
“Candle in the Wind 1997” is Elton John’s biggest hit, selling over 33 million copies worldwide. This song was rewritten in tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, and its success marked a significant moment in Elton John’s career.
Collaboration with Bernie Taupin
Elton John and Bernie Taupin continue to work together, despite occasional breaks. They’ve collaborated on numerous projects over the years, including the musical “The Lion King” and the song “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” for the biopic “Rocketman.” Their partnership remains one of the most successful songwriting collaborations in music history .
Meeting Ozzy Osbourne
