Last night Colleen, Ginny, Lars and I had great fun with 18,000 others at the Billy Joel concert at the Hollywood Bowl. At age 65, "The Entertainer" is still going strong and performed many of our favorites. His band and backup singers were amazing with guitar riffs, saxophone interludes and great brass and percussion. He is the master of the piano...playing fast and furious up and down the keyboard. He even threw in a Beatles song and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" in the middle of his famous songs.
The fans sang along to the top of our lungs, especially on "New York State of Mind" and "Piano Man." For a moment we were a close community all singing together.
The joy of music that defines the life of our generation is fantastic. It was wonderful celebrating the music with the next generations who were also singing along. It truly was an Ode to Joyfulness.
