The action is good,&#8221; Joel can be heard saying in the video after tickling the ivories. &#8220;It just needs tuning. And the finish is beat. It&#8217;s a perfectly good piano.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a shame to throw it out,&#8221; he adds.Joel suggests donating the piano to the Society ofSt. Vincent de Paul thrift store, and someone off camera can be heard saying there&#8217;s a thrift store nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;d probably take it,&#8221; Joel says as he continues to examine and play notes on the piano.The YouTube video is dated as having been uploaded on June 26. There&#8217;s no word on the fate of the piano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2020\/07\/16\/entertainment\/billy-joel-piano-trnd\/index.html (\u03b1\u03bd\u03bf\u03af\u03b3\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c3\u03b5 \u03bd\u03ad\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1)\" href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2020\/07\/16\/entertainment\/billy-joel-piano-trnd\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">cnn.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may be right, Billy Joel, it may be crazy to have tossed out that piano.Video of the superstar musician playing a discarded piano\u00a0on a sidewalk on Long Island, New York, has been making the rounds.
