BILLY JOEL: Inspiration to a Little Piano Man |
 |
|
Billy Joel might have some competition for the title of Piano Man. After seeing the viral video of six-year-old autistic boy Ethan Walmark playing his breakthrough hit, Joel said, "I think I like his intro to 'Piano Man' better than mine." He adds that Ethan "plays with a lot more energy than me. Maybe he could teach me a few things." Ethan's parents released a statement saying, "We are honored and humbled that Mr. Joel watched Ethan's video, and took the time to make such gracious comments about his piano playing. If Ethan's love and joy of music can change one person's mind about autism, we are happy." The Walmarks have started a donation page on the Walk Now for Autism Speaks website, where they hope to raise $100,000. Source: New York Daily News |
