Web Piano Teacher Artist SeriesAuthor: Shawn Cheek
A podcast, where we as fans, explore the music of the world's most popular musicians and attempt to find out what it is that makes their music so good. With each episode, we put ourselves in the artist's shoes then write, compose, and perform an original song applying what we learned and hopefully, attempt to capture the magic and spirit of their music. After each episode, we hope to spark interest in an artist's music that inspires you to hear and appreciate their songs in a whole new way.

23. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
Wednesday, 12 October, 2022
Join the conversation Shawn and Shawna have about classical program music, show tunes, and where Billy Joel's Scenes from an Italian Restaurant find the point of intersection. Scenes is an epic composition including rockabilly piano, New Orleans jazz, and broadway styling that follows a classical structure and outline. Inspired by the B side of Abby Road, Billy Joel set out to take the pieces of songs he'd written but not quite finished and weave them together into one theatrical song. He paints such a vivid picture, it's like you're reminiscing with him about friends you both went to high school with at your favorite spot in the neighborhood.
