There's lots of good Elton music for the piano - EVM might have a go when he's exhausted the Beatles.

No idea, johnfás. It doesn't happen everytime. The whole post goes screwy.

Rocketman is a great song. I would love to go to one of the concerts where Elton John and Billy Joel duet.

We went to Billy Joel in Croke Park a couple of years ago - it took a long time to warm up, the crowd was small but when he got going it was great.

As long as nobody pays to go to the Eagles it will all be ok... I was paid to be at an Eagles concert and I could not wait to get away from it, worst concert ever. You could tell they all still hate each other and were only on the stage together for the cash.

Funny you should say that. I've got the intro and first 8 bars of Your Song down fairly good in no time.
The 2008 syllabus is over so we're packing time upto christmas before launching for next exam in April '09.
PianoJohn does the best instruction on the web imo. He's a great player and teaches at a good speed - you don't get bored.
He does play it differently to the sheet music, but it's great for getting the chords, fills and rhythm right. God bless him.

Goodnight Saigon is a great one to learn if you like Billy Joel. The fingering isn't hard to manage but you've to concentrate on the mood so it's a different experience. You can't fake it.

U2 announced their summer tour today and Michael Jackson announced London concerts last week.
