Good song ...I didn't know Billy Joel well...the only song I knew was "The longest Time"...I don't think there was a cover of this song (not easy) on SC
...I tried it too hard for me
Maybe Pipe could do it ;)

Hi Jean,
Huge compliments coming from you, my friend!!!
You are absolutely right, I had a hard challenge with this song, and persistence and a lot of luck, got me to this version.
Thank you, as always, Jean!!!
Stay well!

Quote from: Ted on September 09, 2022, 12:44:21 AMWell done! You get such a good sound in that room. What is your mic and gear setup for recording? It can't possibly just be you singing into your phone or laptop mic.
When I was much younger – starting in my late teens and continuing to my early 20s – I had a years-long crush on a girl/woman who was this wholesome Catholic virgin. And she also loved Billy Joel. I loved to point out the "bad boy" aspects of Billy Joel lyrics, particularly this song and "Only the Good Die Young."
Love your interpretation.
BTW: I accessed this from your jukebox. Thanks for uploading MP3s!

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the wonderful feedback.
I love your Billy Joel story, and particularly love your "crush" story as well.
I have to agree with you, I am getting very good sound from my music room, combined with my current recording set=up.
The sound is also being generating with all the acoustic instruments inside the room.

Here is my set-up:
2 mics; Shure SM-58 (guitar), and Ear Trumpet Labs "Edwina" (vocals)
INTO - Yamaha MG10FX Mixer (I am using room reverb #6)
INTO - UAD Volt 2/76 Audio Interface (love the built-in compressor and vintage mic preamp)
INTO - IMAC, I am using Quick Time Player recording a movie

Thanks for asking.
Rene

Listened to this on your youtube.  Nice job.  You are killing me with your song/artist choices - everything I love. In fact I had just been to see a Billy Joel Tribute band a couple days before I saw your video, so I was in a "Billy Joel state of mind" and ready to appreciate your version!
