AboutBarry Goldsbury Expertise I am 24 years old and have been a Billy Joel fan since I was a little kid. I find him to be incredibly interesting with smart lyrics and unbelieveable musicianship. I have his CD`s and a lot of knowledge on the man. If I don`t know it, I will look for it and will not stop til I have the answer for you. I`d love to help if you got a question or just want to talk about Billy. Write me.

Question Wonder if Billy ever did any country trash? I have about 6 songs written country style and more working and would consider sending them to him after I get them dated/received at the copyright office unless he has stated he will NOT do country. I just caught his segment on the CBS Sunday Morning show today 6/11/06 and got the thought that why not ask the question--couldn't hurt right.
Thanks for any feedback.

Answer Hi,
It couldn't hurt. Billy's "Shameless" was country-ish before Garth Brooks got hold of it. You could try writing to Billy in care of his record company. Here you go :
