    watso only rarely watches tv, and might flick through the radio stations ..

    anyway, a real interesting segment about the piano playing elton john and another piano player who was his inspiration .. she was someone named Winifred Atwell..

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winifred_Atwell

    it seems that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winifred_Atwell is buried in a remote part of australia - with a headstone paid for by elton john and magically - there are always a fresh bouquet of flowers - every so now and then

    from the above link

    Elton John called Atwell one of his musical heroes.[29] John paid for Winifred's piano-shaped headstone.
