^ Rebel I enjoyed Crystal's video! What does AI mean ? A well rounded musician that knows many genres can play virtually any genre , even metal!...lol

I agree!! AI is American Idol.

Land of hope and dreams - Bruce Springsteen

[CRAZY-HORSE]

BILLY JOEL "the nylon curtain" cd, 1982

billy's eigthth studio set...
reached #7 stateside, #4 here in Australia, #27 UK, and #12 Canada...
three singles:
"pressure" #20 US, #16 AU, #9 Can,
"allentown" #17 US, #49 AU, #21 Can
"goodnight saigon" #56 US, #29 UK
the singles chart positions and even the album chart placings do not reflect the genius that is "the nylon curtain" IMO...
this is superb pop songwriting from one of pop's best craftsmen from that era...
only one thing on here i dont like and that was the lead off single "pressure"...i may have liked it when it came out but i cannot stand it now, the music and vocal style dont fit in with the rest of the album neither, its really out of place on here...
this is classic Billy Joel from the openig train whistle of "allentown", beyond the chopper sounds of "goodnaight gaigon" through to the haunting "scandanavian skies", simply brilliant album and up there with his best for sure!
im not in the mood to go searching for links with this one and i aint gonna post any, if you dont like it....sue me!

Glad you enjoyed it SteveO!! No, I'm not in any video. We are just good friends. He and his wife Vanessa live in Joplin MO. They lost their house and vehicles when the tornado hit there. Thank the Lord they were alright!! I still sing but don't play my guitar anymore. Got to get me some new strings. Mine are wore completely out. I just sing for my own pleasure. Both sides of my family are musical. I did used to sing in church and my sister has been in bands. My Uncle used to play on TV. I will see if I can get a pic on here from the HOB with my biker friend Kenny.

Second pic is of me and Kenny. My hair is long now. Third pic is of me, Kenny, and friends. Blonde at bottom is Vanessa and her hubby Jon E Finn. He was lead guitar for DAC then. Jon is a great guitar player mile: http://www.davidallancoe.com/kg5/viewtop...f=10&t=169
