I'm not Elton John, though I play some of his music on tv (if my keyboard is hooked up to it). And the issue for me is privacy and my right to it. There's nothing to hide. Believe what I've said or don't... $50 in tips is neither unusual or worth lying about.
By the time you read this, both Tom and Eric should be getting an email sample of my live music, and rgtaa: well like me, you didn't list your email address so you get no surprise.
