I'm Carrying The Weight Of All The

It's Really Hard To Make A Living As A Musician. It's Almost Impossible.

I Had A Melody And A Rhythm And Chords, But Nothing To Talk About. I Remember Reading About How The Decline Of The Steel Industry Had Been Affecting The Lehigh Valley, And I Decided That's What I Was Going To Write The Song About.

Hope You Don't Think This Is Billy Joel Unplugged. I'm A Piano Player. I'm Already Unplugged.

I Always Thought Of Myself As The Piano Player In The Band. That, I Suppose, I'm Confident About, And I Guess My Songwriting Developed As I Went Along And I Got A Certain Amount Of Confidence In That. The Songs Are Like My Kids, I'm Proud Of All Of Them For One Reason Or Another.

In An Age Of Incompetence, I've Been Able To Last In This Crazy Business. I Actually Know How To Play My Ax And Write A Song. That's My Job.
