- The principal of a Glen Cove school said she invited Billy Joel to a spring concert on a lark, never expecting the Piano Man to come. But he did. Joel showed up Wednesday at the Deasy Elementary School for a concert called, "The River of Dreams: A Billy Joel Tribute." CBS 2's Andrea Grymes reports.

Shows the character of Billy Joel. A+. He didn't show up with an entourage or expecting all the attention. Just came to cheer on those kids.
That's cool; I love when celebs do this kind of thing.
Lies again? Harvard University Grab Car
I sang a solo for piano man. Billy Joel himself saw it. Oh my god I feel like ripping my shirt off with joy
LIBERAL NEW YORKER PUNK
Eagle Boi is gay
lol,,,,yes do it..i feel your joy//
e koP wut
Eagle Boi I would’ve too.
He lives locally and is very unpretentious. Not a shock that he turned up, but a lovely gesture. He changed my perspective on life when we met in 1983... he’s very evolved. ❤️
yeah right. new york and pretentious go together like ramalamadingdong.
major mayhem -not sure if I understand that comment. But it’s not out of the question to expect people who have been world famous for decades to start getting above themselves and thinking certain things to be “beneath” them, no matter where they come from.
Piano Man equals The Wild Rover as the best pub songs ever.
Billy Joel is a native New Yorker who hasn't forgotten his roots. Awesome!
what an adorable group of kids. They love billy Joel, they know what good music is! Great
I was one of those kids and honestly haven’t listened to him since this happened
They set the zanzibar really high!
🤣🤣✋✋🎹😎
These are the kind of sweet gestures that make Billy special. He's such a SPECIAL person and well grounded from what I have heard 😉
This is why Billy Joel is my favorite artist. Such a sweet thing to do for the kids!
He is such a good hearted soul. So many cool ways he supports New York and young musicians. What a mensch! Love you, Billy. 🎹😎❤️
And he didn't do it for publicity. Never tried to get on stage and make it about himself. He was just there to show he's still a regular NY guy and only there to show support for these little musicians. I bet thise kids will never forget this! 👏👏🎹🎹😎😎
Bravo to the music director & the kids! Excellent work! Well done, Mr. Joel. Giving credit where credit is due. How outstanding that you attended but did not make it about you. As it should be, imo. You’re a class act.
How incredibly ambitious to tackle all these songs with kiddos so young! Hats off to the staff and faculty.........and the young'uns!
Billy Joel is an amazing musicians🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎼🎶🎼 So glad he showed up and everyone had no surprise at first. He did it for the children. God Bless everyone.
I love Billy Joel.
I know every word to every Billy Joel song. Even the songs that were never released. Any way GOOD JOB KIDS, keep listening to Billy Joel. 🙂👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The ones what were never released...
Oooh, Rosalinda why do you cry
Ooohoo, Rosalinda, could this be why...
‘Roberta’ is one of those unknown songs that I love. Especially the resounding piano playing. I just love the guy.
That is billy. A great guy. I bet that was a great experience for Billy as well. Great people make great things happened.
Billy Joel I love you showing up for those kids more than I love your music and I love your music.You are a dad and son and human first.Thank You.
OMG this is so cute, and cool! Thumbs up to the kids for putting so much hard work in that show, and to Billy for coming by! #idol #best #kids #surprise
GC class of 2021 ‼️
Another reason to admire him💙
Billy Joel is a class act.
omg i went to that school!
This was my old school and I left before this happened:(
Awesome video.
My school had a Beatles tribute year when I was just 5 years old. You see, our school was the only school in the city that had every student actually playing an instrument. It was mandatory that we played instruments and took lessons with our fellow students three times a week. We had pianos, guitars, cellos, violas, violins, flutes, recorders, upright bass, and now even trumpet! Anyways, we always have a big year end concert at the Edmonton Winspear (Where the city orchestra always plays) and Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were invited. Oof they never came but man they would've loved it. Luckily I got to see him when he came back to my city for a concert in September 2018.
It’s still rock roll to me!!
The kindergartners singing captain jack 😂
They shouldn’t censor the songs for them, let the kids sing what he sang.
brilliant idea. let me guess, you a rappa
omg I went to that school now I grew up and have a sad life
Don’t worry man, we all have sad lives.
Ah yes. To live on Long Island we are in constant search of a Billy Joel sighting. It's kind of like in search of bigfoot.
That is so true🤣 I'm live in West Islip, and he used to go to a bar 2 mins away from my house, and every time me and my family pass by it while were driving, we look out the window🤣
I am from Lindenhurst, I haven't seen Billy yet,
So nice
Great story, not fake thank heavens, what a great thing from Billy who goes up in my estimation. And isn't it great to see young kids doing decent music, not the crap that calls itself 'music'. Great stuff! "that hasn't happened for the longest time"!
My dad grew up their.
That's really neat of him to go.
What do you expect? He’s a Long Islander....we’re the best.....
Princess Chewie You could improve your driving
I’m an excellent driver....and yes....KMart sucks...
you should never leave...ever. please.
We are!🤣 I live in West Islip. Maybe I'll meet him someday! He's the reason I got into piano when I was 4! I begged my parents to get a piano so I could be just like him! He's inspired me my whole life! Love him!💖
I am from Lindenhurst, Long Island. I hope to go to one of his concerts soon!
Happy Birthday, Billy. May 9.
I was there!!!
I remember this, we did the beatles when i was in kindergarten and then billy joel in 1st grade. One of my friends had a solo and was terrible but it was fun.
Billy is good people ! Good thing they didn't invite OZZY ! He DAMN sure would have showed up !!! He loves that stuff.
When I was in first grade I did a NIB solo at the xmas concert. I don't think Ozzy was in america at that time so we didn't invite him.
I love Deasy school
How cool. What would've been a lot cooler is if Billy was invited on stage, and asked the principal to contact him whenever they wanted to honor a specific artist, that way the kids could be surprised again.
Ey yo billy mind showing up at Huntington, I'll appreciate it thanks and gg

Performing Copyrighted songs in a school play is illegal without permission. not to mention changing the words.
And yet Billy was SITTING RIGHT THERE in the audience and said nothing so STFU!
Why dont you sue the kids?
According to “The United States Copyright Law: A Guide for Music Educators,” “Music teachers can edit or simplify purchased, printed copies, provided that the fundamental character of the work is not distorted or the lyrics, if any, are not altered or lyrics added if none exist.” THEY CAN NOT CHANGE THE WORDS.
My dear Kevin you really need to get more, you miserable twat..!!!
Wrong. Recording copyrighted songs is illegal, but not performing them live. There are cover bands everywhere.
ms rosen retiréd )=
Diego Henrriquez ik it was sad I was in my 2nd grade when she started and she retired when I was in 6th grade
Piano Man is PG, besides for the parts about drinking.
He should have come in for the 5th and 6th graders. They've had more years of training. He made a presence and then ducked out.
I hope Mr. Joel was compensated for the use of his music.
🙄I went to that school now I’m in landing that principal is a devil I hate her
Next....
BLACK SABBATH!!!!!! BLAHHHHH!!!
The little kids talking ruined this interview
