Billy Joel - The Entertainer

Our cover version of the Billy Joel song "The Entertainer" from 1974's "Streetlife Serenade" album. It's a great song, one of his best in my opinion. It's quite simple structurally (it's the same chord pattern repeated over and over again) but quite complex instrumentally. The drum part alone took a few hours to work out and arrange. We chose to use an acoustic guitar for this video, it sounds much better than our attempts with the electric, and we're staying true to the original so it's better in every way. Me on piano, synthesizer and lead vocal, Isaac on lead acoustic guitar and Sebastian on drums (and Tiny Tim vocal solo...). Please enjoy this video, I really like this song and think this video is one of our best instrumentally. Thanks, enjoy!

Great job on the cover, your piano is what caught my eye the most, everywhere i have looked for sheet music with this more pop feel i cannot find it, i only can get the more generic chords with the melody laid on top. Do you have the piano sheet music for the more original version?

The kid in the beginning just about made me want to shoot a kitten... But everything else was remarkable... Good job!
