Billy Joel news.

This photo of BILLY JOEL is probably the most iconic photo that you will ever see of BILLY JOEL that pre-dates his first solo album, 'Cold Spring Harbor'. Even if you lived your whole life on Long Island, N.Y. you wouldn't know about Cagneys Pub in Oyster Bay, Long Island, N.Y. unless you lived on the north shore of Long Island in the late 1960's - early 1970's. This bar catered to locals and had saw-dust on the floor (for those who remember). A local dive that served a half and half beer, which was a pint glass of half Guinness stout and half draft, yummy! I was a frequent patronizing drunk back then. Anyway, I personally saw BILLY JOEL at Cagneys Pub twice. Back in the day, he was a frequent drinker like me.

Billy Joel news.

Although posted on April 1, 2021 (April Fool's Day) this is no prank. The 'Glass House' is for sale! Yes, that 'Glass House'. The one that BILLY JOEL and first wife Elizabeth Weber owned from the late 1970's to the early 1980's, and used for BILLY JOEL's 1980 'Glass Houses' album cover. This estate, high on Coppers Bluff in Cove Neck, Long Island, N.Y., was famous long before BILLY JOEL moved in, with ties to the Roosevelts. Put up for sale several years back for $12,000,000 million, it has since been reduced in price and relisted for 'only'...  $8,900,000 million. (Property taxes: $128,000 thousand per year)
Fact: Billy Joel bought this house for $300,000 thousand in the late 1970's.
