AboutAustin Scott Expertise I am a huge fan of Elton John`s, and take it upon myself to learn as much about him as I can. I know a lot of obscure facts as well as many people associated with Elton over the years. I love to share my knowledge with other Elton fans or just the curious. I`m a dedicated fan...I`ve gotten myself three autographs at concerts, one from as far back as 32 rows! If I don`t know your question, I`ll try to find it!
Question Hi Austin: I just attended the Elton concert in Charlottesville, VA and while Elton was introducing the band he made a comment to Davey Johnstone about his band the Cheeseheads, he also made this comment at the 60TH Birthday concert in New York, which I also intended. I was wondering what Elton is referring to when he says this about Davey because each time it just seems to crack both of them up!! Please let the rest of us in on the joke. Thanks
Answer Hi Donna,
Elton likes to come up with fictitious band names for some of his band members. Davey seems to be his favorite. I've been to several shows where Elton has a different band for Davey each time. Sometimes the band names are not so kid-friendly! Once I was at a show and Elton introduced Davey as Graham Sponge! I guess it's a way for Elton to keep the concerts fresh!
