"Sharing a drink they call loneliness" is one of my all time favorite lines.

At seventy, I use his line "When I wore a younger man's clothes!" a lot, as it is true.

This isn't a song about a piano man singing to a Saturday night crowd. It's a piano man telling us a story of what he sees while he's playing, every Saturday night.

This is such a great story telling song. This was Billy's first single released in 1973. "Piano Man" is based on Billy Joel's real-life experiences as a lounge musician in Los Angeles. The song is sung from Joel's point of view as a piano player at a bar, reminiscing about his experiences there & the people he encountered.

Billy Joel is one of the greatest lyricist out there. He paints a story when he is singing.

“Tickle those ivories.” Piano keys used to be made of ivory.<br><br>You’ve never even heard of Billy Joel?!! I feel like I just hit a time warp or entered an alternate universe. Welcome to our world, where Billy Joel is a legend. For most of us back in the seventies, this was our first introduction to him and his music. We all wanted to hear more from him and he did not disappoint. He can sing any style, any genre. He’s got beautiful love songs. He’s a great storyteller and lyricist, as you’ve discovered for yourself. I’ve usually seen people react to a different video of “Piano Man”, which I think is the official video. To be honest, this one sounded kind of like he was just phoning it in. That’s not a criticism. I’m saying he usually sounds even better than this.<br><br>You’re going to be inundated with suggestions for his songs. Since I’m here early for once I’ll give you two suggestions to get you started. “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” really shows off his storytelling skills and his musical talent. “New York State of Mind”, from The Old Grey Whistle Test (a British TV show) is a moody, jazzy number that shows what an incredible performer he is, as well as showing off his talent.<br><br>I look forward to watching you explore this deep, deep rabbit hole. You’re going to love it.

Did you see him banging on those ivories? Billy Joel – reminding us that the piano is a percussion instrument.
