  • Last week we crowded into Clinton's Tavern in Toronto + got deep into some classic Elton. Possible side effects include extreme happiness and the need to watch Almost Famous!

    It’s impossible to not immediately think of “Almost Famous” this scene is one of those perfect cinematic moments.

    I used this in my last stage 4 Liver Cancer fight. Thanks you so much for occupying my mind and soul while I fought my fight. Just on the backside of this over 10 days now. My last fight started two days after you uploaded this video. A few of us fighters used this with others to sing as the same time as for prayer to help battle this round. I am now counting headlights getting ready for a tour again soon. Thank you as I now know every second of this video and facial contact. Brilliant and Thanks you for Life...

    I sang in choirs for years and there's a LOT of work that goes into getting everyone up to this point we see in these videos by both the choir director and the music accompanist (especially with that many people in the chorus).
    Kudos to everyone involved, 🙏
    it certainly is all worth it. 👍👍

    Lets sing along.
    Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
    Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
    Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
    And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
    Jesus freaks out in the street
    Handing tickets out for God
    Turning back she just laughs
    The boulevard is not that bad
    Piano man he makes his stand
    In the auditorium
    Looking on she sings the songs
    The words she knows, the tune she hums
    But oh how it feels so real
    Lying here with no one near
    Only you and you can hear me
    When I say softly, slowly
    Hold me closer, tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Hold me closer, tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
    Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
    Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
    And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
    But oh how it feels so real
    Lying here with no one near
    Only you and you can hear me
    When I say softly, slowly
    Hold me closer, tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today
    Hold me closer, tiny dancer
    Count the headlights on the highway
    Lay me down in sheets of linen
    You had a busy day today

    I've watched Almost Famous at least 80 times, no exaggeration! My daughter was 10 when it was released. We can recite every line. The movie influenced our lives for about 10 years as we traveled the country following bands on tour. At 15 - 19 my daughter worked for David Bowie's official website. This rendition of Tiny Dancer is excellent! Sometimes the Choir Choir performances can sound like a dirge. Not this time!
