Monday Music - Billy Joel... and friend

For some reason, I've always liked Billy Joel, or at least the persona he projects of a down to earth guy.

So you can guess I really like this, where he makes a fan's day and possibly changes his life:


Could have been very embarrassing to both, but instead as it turns out it's just really cool.

Wow. Could've been so very, very cringe-worthy but instead - awesome!

This was the coolest, I thought. We don't have a Billy Joel encounter story, but when we attended his concert in Seattle, we knew we'd need a big chunk of change to park. We were cutting it close to concert time when we went around the building one more time looking for a spot. The media truck left, and there was an empty space right in front of the doors. We parked, walked in, sat down, and then Billy Joel entered the stage.

Many thumbs up!! I think my favorite Billy Joel song is probably "Piano Man". Unlike the "7-11" variety, his songs are reflective and thoughtful and fun (not in that order). And can that student ever play!
