Movin' Out ...

By Zardoz Z. Bachman


I promised to give you an update on my time off last week in NYC. I thought this should be the first item. Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp out did themselves with this awesome rock - musical. Movin' Out was an anthology of Billy Joel's most memorable recordings but set to an incredible dance adaptation. The producers were able to find a theme in Billy Joel's long song history and sucessfully portrayed it on stage.

This is a must see show for anyone who is a fan of Billy Joel. If you get an opportunity to travel to New York City be sure to check it out. I am however a bit biased growing up on Long Island's North Shore myself. My friends and I used to see Billy Joel in the late 60's when he was still touring small clubs and bars with a high school - college rock group ! And yes... the Parkway Diner was a real hang out. He was an awesome organist and made his Hammond B3 sing. Those were the days... and this play brought it all back ! --- zzb
