I want to do a post about Billy Joel. I have been a fan almost all my life. That's partly an accident of time, I'm 61
And I became aware of music during Bill's Prime.
The fact that Elton john was big back then helps too.
Piano is a support instrument in popular music now, but between Billy, Elton and Supertramp, it was the lead instrument for plenty of hits back in the 70s through the early 80s

Let's not forget thet Billy was a bad bad man as well, which is one reason I still prattle on about him.
I mean JFC listen to the man sing and play. He plays counter to his vocals like it's no big thing. Except it is a thing.
