Here's the piano intro to What a Fool Believes by the Doobie Brothers. I did a video on this recently and some of you asked me to play it slower, so here you go 😊

New York State of Mind by Billy Joel is one of his many legendary songs. When I starred in the show Movin Out' on Broadway, sometimes Billy himself would come up and play this song with us for an encore. It was amazing. Billy has never played this intro the same way twice and I'm not sure I have either. Here's how I play it (today) #billyjoel #billyjoelpiano #newyorkstateofmind #newyorkstateofmindpiano #movinoutonbroadway #broadway #piano #michaelcavanaugh ... See MoreSee Less
