I am clocking out for this week, but first there is the musical finale.
This week's finale features a love song to a piano. Baby Grand was written by Billy Joel and heavily influenced by Ray Charles. The recording features both of them on vocals and, of course, pianos:
This song might not have happened except for a series of events leading to Joel writing it. First, Joel named his daughter Alexa Ray after Ray Charles. When Charles heard about it, he asked to meet with Joel. During the meeting, Charles suggested they do a song together. The rest is history.
That is all from me this week, but I will return with more on Monday. May you all have your own "baby grands" at home. Enjoy your weekend.
