Musical Interlude: Allentown (1982)

 "Allentown" was the 1st single off Billy Joel's 1982 album, "The Nylon Curtain", and a musical illustration of life in the working class Pennsylvania town, post-World War II.


Joel has had to cancel his remaining concert dates to a recent diagnosis revealing he has a brain disorder affecting his hearing & vision, among other symptoms. Joel was to play at Citi Field, Yankee Stadium, & Met Life Stadium this summer, which was being hyped on local radio.

Best wishes & prayers for a speedy recovery.
