Just to report I too am a huge Billy Joel, AND, Gordon Lightfoot fan.

Saw Mr. Joel live about five times: at Maple Leaf Gardens, 1989, and, I believe, at Maple Leaf Gardens, circa, 1994, and at the then-SkyDome with Sir Elton John, ca. 1995, and at Air Canada Centre, circa, 1998, and, 2007.

Saw Mr. Lightfoot live about five times too: at Massey Hall once in a while approximately every 18 months and also at an outdoor freebie concert at Peterborough, ON, circa, 2002, and at Orillia circa, 2005. Plus at "Farm Aid" at SkyDome/Rogers' Centre circa 2000 perhaps.

Mr. Joel's best tunes in my estimation are "You're My Home", and, "An Innocent Man".

Mr. Lightfoot's best tunes in my estimation are "The Great Canadian Railroad Trilogy", and, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald".

It might be very fine if the two esteemed gentlemen collaborated, playing at least portions of each other's signature songs: e.g. Piano Man, .../... Alberta Bound ... The Entertainer .../...Pussy Willows

Long Live Mr. William Joel Martin, AND, Mr. Gordon Meredith Lightfoot!!!
