## Resource

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are joined by the legendary percussionist Ray Cooper. Ray has performed with so many of our favourite artists over the years but is forever synonymous as being part of Elton John's band since 1972.  In a fascinating conversation with Guy and Gary, Ray talks about a life with Elton and recording classic albums like 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy', a masterpiece that recently turned 50. You can but the 50th anniversary edition of that album here: https://eltonjohn.lnk.to/CF50 Instagram @rockonteurs @guyprattofficial @garyjkemp @raycooperofficial @eltonjohn @gimmesugarproductions    Listen to the podcast and watch some of our latest episodes on our Rockonteurs YouTube channel.
