Mr. Joel said in a telephone conversation from Boston. "Just to think that they can sustain a lot of appearances based on my music is great. "A friend called me and told me to listen to this band that was playing on local TV, and I said 'That's me,' Mr. Joel said "They said 'No, it's this band,' and they had a hard time convincing me it wasn't me.
