Piano Man

[beldarzfixon]

Don’t ask me to play it; don’t even go there. I’ll do anything by Billy Joel - "Uptown Girl," “Just the Way You Are,” “My Life,” “Only the Good Die Young” - that last one’s a crowd-pleaser. But the song that describes what I’m doing right now? How cheesy. And the song’s a little depressing, anyway.

Your detailed piece was what inspired me to write what I did in the second piece. Thank you for taking the wisp of an idea and developing it into a rich world.

Wonderful collaboration , you two really created a nice set of stories. Loved how 'anything's possible' then such a sweet ending happened in alyce's piece. :)

It is neat how it worked out. We started with vague ideas, I started with this, then she kicked it up a notch. I had pictured my character as someone who facilitated others' fairy-tale endings as he was sure he was no longer entitled to one himself -- Alyce's song fills in that background. Also note the titles and order of Billy Joel songs listed early in the story (this was mostly how it was written in the first draft prior to Alyce's writing) and note how they reflect the relationship of my man and his beloved as revealed in the song. I love it when synergy pops up like that.

Yep. They were both very cool pieces!

I like the lyrics it's interspersed with, one of my favorite songs is in there too!
