Bumped into BJ and his housekeeper one time at the IGA market at Oyster Bay in Long Island.  He is a down to earth genuine guy.  I asked him about his infamous car accidents and he was embarrassed.  LOL.

I saw a cover band do "Pressure" at a bar once, and it was pretty impressive......

Piano man is the go-to karaoke song if you're in an old man bar.  Everyone gets down on that jam if they're drunk enough, hahahaha

 Always loved "Piano Man" & "The Stranger".......but a separate fav is "matter of trust".

Even though "Uptown Girl""was likely a tribute to Christie Brinkley, and one of his WORST songs as well, Billy Joel is an EXCELLENT musician.
