I traveled down to Philly last week to meet up with the newest member of the Billy Joel Band, Mike Delguidice. That night they were playing to 43,000 people at Citizen Bank Park. Not bad I guess. I had a blast talking with Mike - I love his story. He's an incredibly talented, hard working musician who had a Billy Joel tribute band for 14 years before he got the call that would change his life forever. Mike speaks from the heart - he's candid, funny, genuine and humble. If you like good stories, Billy Joel, Long Island accents, and the f word, you'll love this episode.
