  • I’m happy to get this song through! I love Billy Joel. Now I’ve played this song on gigs for years but never played it this way. But this is very close to the original. I put a little Earl in there with the drags, but the basic groove is copped from a Liberty DeVito drum clinic! This what he played. It’s very different, but very correct. The first time I tried it with a drum less track .. it was fun to play!
    Enjoy ... 😎
