Description

After our "Rosalinda" episode (not "Rosalinda's Eyes") we spoke about a man named Denny Somach who is the only person who booked and subsequently recorded Billy Joel at a show at the Roxy Theater around Allentown Pennsylvania. Well, we were able to track him down and today he is our guest on Billy Joel A to Z. Denny may own the only known recording of "Rosalinda" on the planet. So there's that. Denny is also a music historian. He has written 2 books on the Beatles and created the show "Get the Led Out" - the Led Zeppelin Radio Show. He also created a legendary NBC show when MTV wasn't everywhere called, "Friday Night Videos", which Dave can even remember the theme song. ? Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

A funny and informative podcast discussing every Billy Joel song from A to Z.I'm Elon Altman -- and I'm Dave Juskow -- and this is the Billy Joel A to Z Podcast. We're two comedians who love Billy Joel. We enjoy praising his great songs and ripping on, well, you know, "All You Wanna Do is Dance" ?We are going to review and talk about every song Billy Joel has ever written. We had the idea to do this podcast because we wanted to talk about "Zanzibar," but, unfortunately we decided to go through Billy Joel's catalog alphabetically, so expect our "Zanzibar" discussion in two years. Every episode we do a deep dive into a particular song. We talk rankings, make fun of Billy's hilarious music videos, tell funny stories, and do trivia and song parodies too.So join us on this fun journey with new song episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.
