Once it is in place, it is a powerful thing.<br /><br />Funny you should mention harmony, as the song "Harmony" appeared on Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album, which was released 40 years ago, this month. That Autumn was a very special time for me, both in obvious ways, and things to come later in life, that would change the very fiber of my being... I even saw Elton for the first time, in concert then. He performed several of the seventeen tracks from the then new album.<br /><br />It appears I have gotten off track and into a ramble. Sorry about that, David. Truth be told, I am having an awful time holding my focus. I seem to keep tripping over intangibles.
