Even though a lot of negative things happened the people that were interviewed were very positive. Billy's input was great. Produced very well. So many songs. What he can do on the piano is beyond belief and so much fun. Hope you enjoy.

I'm looking forward to watching this. I've always liked Billy Joel's music. Two of the first albums I ever bought were "The Stranger" & "52nd Street." I was 13 or thereabouts.
