wow - what a night!!! the wonderful miss els scored 2 tickets to a night with.....BILLY JOEL!!! how exciting! he was at the 92 st Y (which for those of you who aren't up with your NYC high society, this ain't your grandma's Y. only the richest of the richest on the upper east side can get into this Y. in fact, to get your kid into their pre-school program, you have to either buy your way into it, or, now this is just speculation - but i think you'd have to put your unfertilized eggs on the waiting list...but enough about the Y)

so there was a crappy host - some jerk from rolling stone who god only knows how he got a job as a writer/interviewer - he was the worst. anyway, billy was funny, telling stories of how he writes, where he got some inspiration from, what artists he likes to try and imitate and then he opened it up to the floor for some q & a.

the best part was not the questions, but every so often he would play songs. he played some goodies. he stayed away from his bigger hits. we heard a little rosalinda's eyes, scandinavian skies, laura...and to make a few people i know VERY JEALOUS we heard Vienna AND Summer Highland Falls.

all in all, it was a great night. and i thank els deeply for the lovely time and for thinking that i would enjoy it! and if billy is making an appearance at your local Y, check him out!
