about

The year was 1976, the bicentennial birthday of America, and I wanted to make the point that "the nicest thing about the United States / everybody is free to make their own mistakes / it might not sound like much but it will do in the clutch / step right up sucker it's your turn to touch". (Little known historical fact: this album contains the first ever recording of Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind").
