I grew up with Billy and Billy grew up with the Beatles… And one thing I noticed rather recently was the lyrics in Piano Man…

 

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he's quick with a joke and he'll light up your smoke

But there's some place that he'd rather be

The Piano Man album is very good, with my favorite track on it being Captain Jack.

One of my all-time favorite songs is New York State of Mind.

Curse you, RedLennon! Looks like another visit to Amazon.com is imminent.

Sing us a song tonight. Well we're all in the mode for melody. And you've got us feeling alright."

 

I have my Billy Joel moments. One of my earliest memories is singing to The Longest Time.
