It's Still Rock and Roll to Me
A few weeks ago, I put this video out there for validation, but had my own memory that validated it. I had written about how my sister and I thought the saxophonist in Billy Joel's band was cute -- well I remembered that we had made the connection that the same saxophonist, Richie Cannata, played in Rita Coolidge's band in the video for Let's Go Dancing, which was also on Video Concert Hall (and I have yet to find). An observation that no doubt came from the repeated viewings of both videos that the show would have provided. So there you go!

I seem to have a foggy memory of seeing Billy Joel's video for It's Still Rock and Roll to Me ad nauseum, and, well, Video Concert Hall was the place to see the same videos ad nauseum. I just watched the video on YouTube, and recalled that my sister and I thought Richie Cannata (saxophone) was quite cute, making me even more sure that it was on there (she'd gone off to college by the time there was MTV, Night Tracks, Friday Night Videos, etc.), but I think I'll put it out there for validation.
Another Billy Joel single from the Glass Houses (1980) was Sometimes A Fantasy, and I wonder if this video was on the show, or that it just seems like it could have been.
