What began as a shot in the dark, started to take hold in early March. As you might be aware, "six degrees of separation" is the theory that everyone is connected by way of introduction to another person by just six steps. Lloyd's partner made a call to a friend of Elton John's former manager. A friend owned a radio station and knew influential people. Another friend sent Harrison's story to a local news station. Yet another friendship from the 7th grade reconnected Lloyd with a pal radio D.J. who tried to pull some strings. With all these connections, though, we were still told that there would be no meet and greet. Nice video, kid, but, not a chance. "Elton doesn't do '
meet and greets'".
I believe it wasn't by chance at all... meeting Jon Howard through any of the above connections would be a far stretch-- but explainable. But, having his own mother call him and ask him to introduce Harrison to E.J? Now, that's beyond our imagination.
