heh: "If JUST for th' CHILDREN of a new GENERATION."  Too bad Lowe didn't say "new POWER generation."

Loved the Billy Joel too; I'd never heard that one.  Reminded me in an odd way of early Steely Dan.  My knowledge of pre-Stranger BJ is limited to a tiny handful of singles.

Piano Man is really a wonderful LP and holds up well, IMHO. Streetlife Serenade is a bit odd, for a follow-up to a successful debut -- TWO instrumentals, fer chrissakes. But your Steely Dan comparison is right on. And Turnstiles really has some gems, some of which Dave has played and a couple more that he should.
