Hello gang, Yep, Jilly Bowl er, Billy Joel used Tron on "She's Always A Woman
To Me." I believe that LP is one of the hundreds listed on DK's Webpage.
Those same Tron flute notes "jump out" of the mix,with the identical/unmistakeable
timbre as EJ's "Daniel" ,"Lucy".....and googles more....Maybe not googles.
Sorry, Drs. Carl Sagan/Steven Hawking!......Trons & quantum physics,now that's
deep!
