My guest on the podcast this week is Davey Johnstone, who's played guitar and been the musical director for the Elton John Band since 1972.
During that time, multi-instrumentalist Davey has played on all of Elton’s albums and tours. In fact, he recently celebrated his 3,000th show with Elton in 2019.
Davey’s also played and recorded with a wide range of artists including Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks, Meat Loaf and Alice Cooper among many others,
During our interview we talked about the making of Elton’s early albums, what it’s like to play the hits 3,000 times, how his gear has changed through the years, making a pilgrimage to Muscle Shoals, and much more.
On the intro I’ll take a look at the average attention span of music listeners and the Taylor Guitar company being given to its employees.
