| quadriga Member since: Mar 30, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 114 | "But I am not Nathan. Not Nathan. Not Nathan. Not Nathan. " Do you know Nathan in person? Speaking of whom, she's been quiet recently--here or other sites. I miss Nathan like I miss the jig. |

I don't know that I agree that Piano Man is telling a story. Billy Joel paints a very vivid picture of the bar atmosphere, and makes me feel like I am in that bar, having a good time with my other drunk accquaintances. |

I only know what she looks like from the Youtube videos she posted of herself. |

I think its a great story and a great song. I see it like a musical version of Cheers, the story of the Piano Man and the other employees and regulars at the bar. The lines about John the bartender (which frequently get cut out when played on the radio) were life changing for me. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Yet Nathan is still here. We can have socks and not get banned? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That's the strange thing, Nathan didn't need a sock here because she's not banned. Nevertheless, I'll allow KarenNathan to remain at DT. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
