musicians i love: billy joel

he is THE entertainer.

i am incredibly partial to singer-songwriters. and billy joel is one of the best. his music is nothing short of phenomenal. my favorite album is the stranger. i saw the piano man in concert in LA a couple of years ago and i was blown away. i did not expect such a high-energy, dynamic, crazy-amazing show. the musicians on his tour were unbelievable.

a few months ago, the hubs, mel & trav, and i saw movin' out, a musical built around the music of billy joel. i expected something mama mia-ish, but this was more a dancing extravaganza, with a live "piano man" providing all the music. twyla tharp choreographed the show, and the joining of talents was thoroughly enjoyable.
i love the man. i love his mind. i love his music. and i'm a little jealous of katie lee. just kidding.

"though we share so many secrets, there are some we never tell . . ." how true, billy. how true.
