The original 'Funky Cat' himself, Sir Elton John. (11.20.2011)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In my previous life I spent years in the music biz in L.A., so if a friend of mine rolls through town, there's a good chance I'll get to see the  show. In this case Kim Bullard, Elton's keyboard player, comp'd me the tickets. Thanks, Kim!
