The first record I held in my hands was Billy Joel's "Glass Houses".
Ever since, I've been a huge fan. To the extent, that I learned how to play piano because of Billy (but have since forgotten).
I don't think there's much cooler in life than to be this young man given this chance. If nothing more becomes of it, he will tell his grandchildren how he played for Billy Joel.
I imagine he'll have a huge smile every time he tells the story, regardless of how many times he tells it.
"New York State of Mind" is one of my favorite Joel tunes.
