Mommy's Other Men

A week ago Wally and I went to the Billy Joel & Elton John concert at Wrigley with my parents and sisters. Grandma and Grandpa Z. were on Lucas patrol that night.

It was an awesome concert! I am a huge Elton John fan (Wally & I saw him in Vegas in March 2008), but I am also a big Billy Joel fan (Wally, not so much). My parents love Billy so we heard a lot of him growing up. My sisters and I have some great memories of listening to his albums (yep, that's right, on a record player). Stacey was always the 'Big Shot', while I was partial to 'My Life' and 'Zanzibar'. After Sunday night dinners, it wasn't unusual to have a dance party in the living room to Billy Joel or the Annie soundtrack :)

Anyways...they both put on a great concert. They played together singing some of each other's songs, then Elton played for about an hour, then Billy, and they came back together at the end and of course ended with none other than 'Piano Man'. To hear 55,000 people singing Piano Man is just amazing...it almost brought tears to my eyes.

We had a great night out and it was really great for me to be at the concert with my family - thank you to you mom and dad for introducing us to some really great music...I think I can speak for Stacey and Carly as well in saying that we were really there for the music unlike a lot of other people our age (but we did enjoy the other aspect of it as well - some drinks!).

Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Z. for watching Lucas and getting him to bed for us...I don't like to miss bedtime too much, but a night out is always fun!
