Billy Joel, Radford College. Oct '77. No car and no interest from others


Being a Yankee, Billy was very popular in my area. Tickets were easily had. Had no wheels and tried to get others to go. This was just when The Stranger was released but before all the future hits made the airwaves. A year later, he hits Roanoke and the show is sold out in a flash.

Epilogue: wife and I saw Billy at The Garden with unannounced guest John Mellencamp and Felix Cavaliere (The Rascals). A great time was had by all.
