In the early '90s, my grandpa visits a friend's farm (Horton's farm) in Glastonbury Connecticut. He hears they're filming parts of the River of Dreams music video inside the barn and goes over there for a visit. He proceeds to chat up Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley. Keep in mind, my grandpa has no idea who they are. He calls my mom, living in New Hampshire at the time, and tells her about the experience. She is understandably livid and asks him, "Dad, don't YOU KNOW who BILLY JOEL is? He says, "No, but his wife was awfully nice!" My mom tells me this story years later, and is shocked at how clueless he is about the cultural zeitgeist. Some people are just in the right place at the right time, I guess.

I was 3rd row center stage.
AMAZING ! My 17th Billy show.
I came here for Crystal singin Tina Turner. I just saw Billy last night and She was incredible. the whole show was amazing.
His voice is still strong!
Musically this song is such a masterpiece. (Italian restaurant) the homecoming to the original melody at the end always brings the house down.
