I would often run into a father & son at the Barber Shop. The Richard, the father was a night security guard at a local Hotel - the place where the Company I worked for would have their annual Christmas Party. One year, after the party, my Boss's tipsy wife started to play the piano in the lobby - and not very well. Richard comes over to disuade her from playing & my Boss gets in his face. I intervened - it was all OK once she stopped. We all went off to the Hotel lounge where Richard told us the night Billy Joel did the same. He had returned to the Hotel after his local show, and was playing when Richard told him to stop - it was after midnight - but once he recognized Billy Joel, said to play as long as he wished. That became an informal sing along with the other Hotel guests that lasted until 4 AM.....

Glass Houses will always hold a special place for me. 

First album I ever owned. I needed it for a music class report back in elementary school. The lyrics are listed in the album jacket.
