Travelin' Prayer

Travelin' Prayer

In this episode we are discussing the song that kicks off the Piano Man album entitled Travelin' Prayer. It's a country blue grass song that doesn't really fit in the Billy Joel catalogue BUT when Dolly Parton covered it in 2000, she was nominated for a Grammy so. . . it definitely showcases his masterful songwriting. Anyway, we have alot of fun with this one since the instrument showcased is called a jaw's harp, or a juice harp, or a mouth harp OR the way we refer to it -- a Jew's harp. It's actually called that so we don't feel bad. You can look it up. Epic.
