I first saw Billy Joel at the Academy of Music in Philly waaaay back in 1976. Turnstiles was just released and I was really impressed with his musicianship, humor and songwriting. Took my Mom and Dad to see him the next time out. Its sad to see him going through so many personal problems now because during the better part of 3 decades, he could do no wrong professionally. Billy Joel is one of those artists I could always listen to.
