There have been so many deaths of musicians and others in the music field the past couple of years it's difficult to keep track. Sad but true.

I didn't enjoy every project he was involved in but he was a talented guy. RIP, Paul.

I learned of Paul Buckmaster when Elton John mentioned his name during the live recording: Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Buckmaster had arranged / rearranged some Elton classics like, The King Must Die and Have Mercy On The Criminal.

Didn't realise he did the arrangement for both Tiny Dancer and Levon. Fuck, the strings on them are something.
