Yes I do. Like many other Long Islanders, I know the good he has done here on LI. I love his music and think he will go down as one of the great songwriters...
I recently listened to a interview concert with Billy Joel and Howard Stern. Billy told Howard that he thinks that Ray Charles is the greatest musician of the 20th Century and that when he did that duet together, he was actually nervous to the point, that he couldn't play.
Joel has also performed duets of the song with Elton John during their collaborative Face-To-Face Tour, with the country singer Garth Brooks during Brooks's Central Park Concert in 1997, and with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as one of Springsteen's special guests during his performance at the " Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert" at Madison Square Garden in New York City on October 29, 2009.
2 Septembers ago... and we had a ball! One of the best times I have had with any internet friends. In fact, we pulled an all nighter! Not bad for a bunch of old farts, LOL!
Everyone thinks of NY as being just NYC. It isn't. Long Island is beautiful and the rest of the state is breathtaking. Here is what is right below my own home:
Hey! Lot's of reasons to come and visit me!
You sure have a thing about Billy Joel.

One of my favorite Billy Joel songs. Two great's together.

That's humble.
BTW Kavika, love that song, too!
I know Robert! I better stop!
Yeah , yeah.. cute... But poor reproduction. He would be on his bike and hitting a tree out in East Hampton.
Evil child! No respect for the greats!
Never...ever say there are too many Billy Joel articles...anywhere!
It's funny the things folks whohave never visited, have in mind when they think of New York. It was so much more, of everything, than I expected!
:~)
Awww.. Larry so true! And that is one of the reasons your article is still up!
Come on Larry, too much more and Perrie will start singing ''I love NY''..
What a great video! Makes me want to come and visit...
Another one of my favorites by Billy Joel.
Might have to amend that article and include a second chapter this fall!
:^)))
More NY
I'm considering the turn around time with regard to the visit.
I'm 3 hours from Philly Mac!.... which is also kind of strange since it only takes about a 1/2 hour longer to get to B'more.
Larry, I'm hoping you do!
Kavika... come on... I would never sing that when I can sing NY state of mind! Do you know how many people have covered that song?
The song has been covered by Barbra Streisand , Lea Michele and Melissa Benoist , Joanna Wang , Elton John , Shirley Bassey , Oleta Adams , Carmen McRae , Mark-Almond , Diane Schuur , Ben Sidran , Mel Torm , Frank Sinatra Jr. , Adam Pascal , Tony Bennett , and Floyd Pepper of Electric Mayhem .
Joel has also performed duets of the song with Elton John during their collaborative Face-To-Face Tour, with the country singer Garth Brooks during Brooks's Central Park Concert in 1997, and with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as one of Springsteen's special guests during his performance at the " Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert" at Madison Square Garden in New York City on October 29, 2009.
Not to shabby!
If I make the trip, I'll bring a bottle of red and a bottle of white.

Marsha..
COME!! BE MY GUEST!!! SERIOUSLY!
Perrie, on her way to B'more
You may have to ''circle the wagons''....LOLOLOLOL
BTW, that's hubby and a kid you found along the way. You, my dear, are in the covered part of the wagon, not wanting to get a sunburn.
They most certainly did!
Can't get enough, Kavika!

Looking up at my hill
Here is another view
Can't see the video.
I don't see a tipi, I ain't coming. Besides I spent a month in Buffalo one afternoon.
LOL... is that like 1st prize is a week in Elizabeth, NJ, and second prize is two weeks?
Well, I am not going to dis Buffalo. Spikegary is from that neck of the woods... and they do have the falls.
So it was written, so it is done!
It worst than that Perrie, it was horrible.
