That's crazy.

Ever try to play Billy Joel's "Piano Man" and think 'this doesn't sound right'?  Turns out it wasn't you - it was the sheet music.

Billy Joel's keyboardist and musical director David Rosenthal says he just went back and corrected the 'Piano Man' sheet music, which he says "has been horribly wrong for years".   He says it included wrong notes, missing measures, and "parts of songs that weren't even there."
