  • Fantastic

    Such a fun podcast for Billy Joel fans, especially for those who grew up with him and can really appreciate the nostalgia. And it’s so enjoyable learning new things, and hearing new (old) audio of concerts, awards shows, sound checks and interviews. It’s like going in a time machine. Such wonderful escapism from our troubled times. Thank you both so much for putting this together. I know it’s a ton of work, but it is deeply appreciated and enjoyed by many! I look forward to it every other week!

I was approached about it very early on, I think it was about three years ago.
EP 142 - In Conversation with Jon Small (Longtime Billy Joel collaborator)

EP 142 - In Conversation with Jon Small (Longtime Billy Joel collaborator)
Q: Was it like a head session where they were putting it together on the fly?
Billy wrote most of the song, but they put their names first. Billy wasn't really happy about it.

Q: Did you all just feel you were ready and you had the material ready?
We were just really green, we met the producers one day. We knew nothing about them. We really didn't have any singles.
