I had some workers putting down a new floor just outside my music room. They said, "Man, cant you play Rocket Man?" I like Elton John, but I dont think I had ever heard the piece. I was not to be outdone so I downloaded it and played it for them the next day, at least well enough that they could recognize it- They said "You the Rocket Man!"

Like Yellow Brick Road, this piano arrangement is identical to the original score. What I love about this site is the ability to transpose keys. Some of the pieces the vocal melodies are too high for me in the original key. With a click I can get music script in any key I need. Awesome!
