  • 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.

    Billy Joel is a native New Yorker who hasn't forgotten his roots. Awesome!

    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. ❤️

      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.

    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.

    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! 👏👏🎹🎹😎😎

    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.

  • @joshuabrooks4907
    @joshuabrooks4907 5 лет назад

    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.
