Billy Joel tells life stories; his music takes you to times in your life that you are familiar with, that we all can relate to, I first heard Billy Joel back in the 70's, my sister listened to him every day to the point that I became familiar with the songs to the point that I was actually singing along and knew the words to every song, albums like The Stranger, Glass Houses, all of them, we all grew up with music in our blood and in our hearts, my mom could sing Opera, she had an incredible singing voice that would blow us kids away.

Possibly the BEST deep cut from an artist who could fill a double album with fantastic deep cuts!! Seriously underrated songwriter!

To me, Billy is an artist. The music is the canvas and his lyrics are the painted images. You can close your eyes and still envisage the song. His songs are cinematic. Italian Restaurant has similar effect.

To me, the only Billy Joel album better than The Stranger is 52nd Street. 52nd Street is chock full of great songs.

His 'core 5' albums, as I call them - _Turnstiles,_ _The Stranger,_ _52nd Street,_ _Glass Houses,_ and _The Nylon Curtain_ - are all brilliant.

The 4th disc of his complete hits collection 1973-1997 is entitled "an evening of questions & answers... & a little music". Someone ask why Vienna? and Bill talks about visiting his father, who lived in Vienna. He see a very elderly woman sweeping the street and asks his dad "why is this old lady sweeping the street?" His dad tells him she's got a job, she's happy, feels useful, making the street clean, she's not being put out to pasture. Old people in the States are treated badly, put in rest homes and pretend they don't exist. While older cultures value old people and feel they can still be a part of the community. Billy liked that because he doesn't have to worry so much about getting old - because "Vienna waits for you..." Of course he tells it better then I do, it's worth a listen. Disc 4, track 5 of that collection. ✌️&🎶

Maybe Billy’s best album from beginning to end though he has so many great albums.Billy grew up in Hicksville, Long Island, NY. Billy is of Jewish descendants though he is more agnostic than anything else .

Billy Joel tells a great story about how he used Vienna as a metaphor for the rest of your life. His father lived in Vienna and it has always been a city of crossroads. Listen to his discussion on CD4 of his Complete Hits Collection 1973-1997. Actually, he tells many anecdotes and performs live. It's great.

When he was an up and coming hotshot he was with his dad in Austria, and he saw an old lady sweeping around the front of her home. And Billy was laughing about it in a mocking way. And his dad corrected him about his arrogance. The lyrics are based on the words his dad told him.

I could be wrong , but I think that might technically be a concertina, not an accordian (i.e. those small, cylindrical accordians that don't have a keyboard).

Billy Joel is German/English Jewish. Not Italian in any way. He was raised Catholic by his mother. He now identifies as an atheist Jew. Another great guess. Or, do 30 seconds of research? Lyrically, Joel was inspired by visiting the city of Vienna and his father, who left the family when Joel was a child and moved to Vienna. Joel has stated that "Vienna" is a metaphor for old age.

He’s not Jewish but Italian-Americans were` one of the dominant group/cultures in the entire greater NY area, especially growing up - and “’the greasers” were a stand-out group of juvenile hell-raisers.

He SAID he was Jewish in an interview. He also said his father had had a son in Europe. Billy went to Birnna to find his brother. That’s where he got the idea to write about Vienna as a place or idea.

Billy was Jewish, born in the melting pot that is the NYC area. If you have ever been there, you realize that you often only have to go a couple of blocks to encounter a bit of Italy, or Afgani, followed by China or Russia.
