A lot of us remember the video of Paul Simon allowing an audience member to come on stage to sing Duncan. This is a similar video, of Billy Joel and a young piano student playing New York State of Mind ...

I watched both of these video's again this morning. A couple of thoughts to add...

The Billy Joel video was on a compitition this morning on the "Today Show" with other popular U Tube video's being voted on as a favorite. Sorry I didn't have a chance to tell you if it won or not? But, it is certainly getting a lot of coverage now.

Paul Simon video. I now want a Paul Simon bobble head figurine. About 5 minutes into the song, he was having a blast leading the band and keeping them in step with the young lady performing. His head started going from side to side instead of up & down like it had been. Deffenately a marketing opportunity :)

Thanks agai for sharing....

The title could have been "An audience member gets HIMSELF up on stage. Boy that took some confidence but when you play like that, not much chance of embarrassment! I really enjoyed watching that, I could almost hear Billy's mind ticking over...."What if he sucks??" Anyway, he didn't eh! Thanks Den, that was really enjoyable.
