Miami 2017" by Billy Joel was originally a fictional song, but many of its images eerily foreshadowed what happened on September 11, 2001. I'm posting this version in tribute to all the victims, their families, and the first responders, on this 25th anniversary. Special shout-out to my good friend Jerry Kane, a former NYPD cop and 9/11 hero. ...

This clip was taken from a livestream I did with my bass player, Billy Venditti, and my drummer, Johnny Fedevich. #billyjoel #miami2017 #911tribute #piano ...

This version of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin is part of my series, "Guitar Songs That Sound Awesome on Piano." Obviously this is one of the most classic guitar songs of all time but I've always thought it sounds great on the piano too. Hope you like it!

"Jessie" by Joshua Kadison is a beautiful ballad from the 90s. I was so happy when I heard it because there weren't a lot of big piano songs during that time. Here's a little piece of my version. Hope you like it!
