The Laptop Sessions: “Only The Good Die Young” (Billy Joel Acoustic Cover Song)

By Jeff Copperthite:

Wow, what a difference typing in this brand spanking new editor.   But enough about that…

Welcome to Sunday’s edition of the sessions.  Today I bring you our third Billy Joel song for the site, and it’s a 30 year old song.  Heck, it even was banned on the radio!  I suggest you read up on that story - it’s quite interesting.

I did this song on a hot day after coming home from a meeting, so pardon the unusual button down shirt.  I really am proud of this performance - I think I nailed the vocals and did very clean guitar to accompany the singing.

Also, you better listen to the mp3s from the two shows Jim posted.  I can’t wait to listen to them myself!  Also, come back tomorrow for Jim’s latest session.
