The Piano Man If you think Billy Joel is just a shy. quiet, piano man. you definately didn ' t see him during The Bridge Tour. During his concert here at MTSU. Joel demonstrated the mus- ical ability and versatility (Sur- prise! He plays guitar!) that made him a star. Joel opened up his show with A Matter Of Trust from his latest album. He played a guitar during this song, but when the Pressure was on he moved to his trusty piano. Ir) fact, he was constantly moving during the entire show- from piano to keyboards and back again. Unlike most performers. Joel played many songs from his older albums. Among these were Inno- cent Man. Allentown. Captain Jack. and. of course. Piano Man. Modern Woman. Now Is The Time To Remember. and Baby Grand were some of the songs Joel played off The Bridge. He dedicated Baby Grand to Ray Charles, who re- corded the song with him. Because Joel is so talented and personable, his show was a huge success. He returned four times for encores. After the last one. he spoke some memorable words. He told the audience. If you re drunk, don t drive. Do what I do-call a limo. And whatever you do. don ' t take no shit from nobody! What a guy!
