‘Piano Man’ Billy Joel is in a Long Island state of mind with new Hall of Fame exhibit
hit the market with a whopping price tag of $49 million.But at a preview of his new retrospective exhibit “Billy Joel: My Life — A Piano Man’s Journey” at the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame, Joel hedged about movin’ out from his lavish Oyster Bay property — which is reportedly now off the market — or the LI stomping grounds where he grew up in Hicksville.“I know [you’ve heard] there’s a house for sale and on the market — that doesn’t mean I’m leaving Long Island,” Joel, 74, told the private audience on Tuesday night before the exhibit’s public opening on Friday.“This is my home; it will always be my home. We will always have this as our home — and we’ll come and visit this place a lot.”Certainly, the LIMEHOF — which opened its museum in Stony Brook last year — will feel like home for Joel until next August.
