On Billy Joel’s Birthday Watch As We Visit His Motorcycle Museum In “A Town Known As Oyster Bay Long Island”.
May 9th, 1949 William Martin Joel was born in the Bronx, New York.
Despite being born in the Bronx, Billy is most associated with Long Island.
That’s why to celebrate his birthday we visited his motorcycle museum, 20th Century Cycles in, to steal a line from Billy, “A town known as Oyster Bay Long Island”.
We talk a little about Billy’s bands The Hassles and Attila and some of his many achievements.
Watch the video of our visit to his museum below and below that a video of Billy stopping in the middle of a motorcycle ride to play an abandoned piano on the side of the road and some vintage live performances from Billy.
Happy Birthday Billy, and here’s to many more!!!
