My entire career I have always wanted to write a song like Elton John's "Tiny Dancer". I love the roll of the piano hook, I love how easy it is to play (not meaning degree of difficulty but that it's easy-listening...more like it's a song you can sit down at a dinner party and play...not that I have ever sat down at a dinner party and played "Tiny Dancer"). So finally on my latest record Angst & Grace I put my "Tiny Dancer" in the form of "Sweet Maria". Dave Barnes wrote it with me and we paired it up with arguably my favorite Dave Barnes song of all time "Nothing Fancy". Enjoy!
