Table out with a red gingham cloth...2 people seated by a maitre de and with candles on the table ...then Billy sings:

A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I - face to face
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

<Piano allegro>

Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job, got a good office
I got a new wife, got a new life
And the family is fine
We lost touch long ago
You lost weight I did not know
You could ever look so nice after so much time.

Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green?
Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans
Oh, you drop a dime in the box play the song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic teenage nights

Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and the queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.

Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75
when they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
"Brenda you know that you're much too lazy
and Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life."
Oh, but there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

Well they got an apartment with deep pile carpets
And a couple of paintings from Sears
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had saved for a couple of years
They started to fight when the money got tight
And they just didn't count on the tears.

And Rock and Roll!

Well, they lived for a while in a very nice style
But it's always the same in the end
They got a divorce as a matter of course
And they parted the closest of friends
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
But you could never go back there again.

Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of '75
From the high to the low to the end of the show
For the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best they could do was pick up the pieces
We always knew they would both find a way to get by
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Can't tell you more 'cause I've told you already
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

<andante with horns>

A bottle of red, a bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

My favorites are

You May Be Rght, A Matter of Trust, Allentown & of course Piano Man.

There are many more I could add but those are my favorites

BJ rides the elevator from beneath the stage to Randy Newman's overture from "The Natural"
Oh!:wow: What A Nite! 3:00 Hrs!

:yourock: :headbang: :yourock: :grouphug: Goodnight,Saigon:hug:

last time I saw him was at the First Union Center in Philadelphia- 3 hours. Amazing. He did EVERY song= of course Philly crowd goes INSANE for Allentown

My aunts and mom went to his high school... before he dropped out.

Hicksville LI

As a muscian. I grew up listening to his records and having my dad play and sing his music. I like We Didn't Start the Fire but really I like most of it.

I thought I was the only one here who did (and I'm only 24).

Saw him first in 1973; opened for the Doobie Bros. at the Academy of Music in Philly.

2nd encore: "CAPTAIN JACK":loveya:

He's a genius if they're ever was one.
I loved it when he played Elton John's songs at a tribute to Elton.
What a nite!

It's also one of my fav songs in general
