Default Favorite Billy Joel song?

I saw him with a number of University of Denver graduate students around Spring of 1984.

He had his downtown girlfriend Christie Brinkley in tow.

Small world, I saw him and Christine Brinkley walking hand and hand in downtown Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard around the summer of 1984 (I worked a summer job on the Vineyard that summer during graduate school). Piano man is my favorite.

I worked at McDonalds as a teenager on Long Island (1988? 1989?) and Billie Joel came through drive thru with Christie Brinkley in the passenger seat. We were so excited to see him we crowded in the little drive thru to gawk and they drove off without their drinks.

As for favorite song, too hard to pick. I love them all, he's the soundtrack of my life. I saw him at Madison Square Garden a couple of years back. Fantastic show.

Goodnight Saigon. Saw him do this in the 80's in Pgh. Very moving gave me chills. I'm not a vet. A great show, really enjoy his music.

That would probably be my pick for my favorite song of his.
