“Somewhere, the radio was playing—WCRB again, soft classical. I didn’t register it at first. I was too busy putting my keys down, toeing off my shoes, breathing into the hush. But then the melody changed. Piano. Slow. Familiar. It was Adagio cantabile. Not Joel’s version, with its doo-wop backbone and lovesick harmonies. Beethoven’s. The real thing.” MusicMemoryBeethovenBilly Joel Book:Comings and Goings - The Art of Being Seen : A Jim Garraty Story Source: Comings and Goings - The Art of Being Seen : A Jim Garraty Story
“♪♫ no one’s gonna play this on the radio ♫♪ Billy Joel So why’s he wasting his time? Because he loves the music, that’s why. And he’s not wasting his time is he? He’s following his dream, doing what he loves. Perhaps if more of us followed our dreams – really followed our own dreams, not someone else’s nutty ideology - the world might be a nicer place to reside in.” MusiciansFollowing DreamsFollowing Your HeartFollowing Your DreamsBilly Joel Book:Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe Source: Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe
