  Piano Man (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Piano Man", along the lines of piano pop songs, begins with a jazzy piano pop melody, followed by a harmonica riff.
When originally issued as a single, the song was deemed too long by record executives (5 minutes and 38 seconds), so two verses were cut in half and spliced together for the release as a 45.
Piano Man, his first for Columbia in 1973, reflects his own piano bar experiences in California when he used the name Bill Martin.

 Columbia Missourian - Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
While the stereotypical player piano, a Western movie standby in any saloon scene, has a “rinky tink” sound to it, the instrument is a sophisticated machine capable of reproducing myriad sounds.
Some are operated by pumping the pedals to control the song’s volume; the faster the operator pumps, the louder the song is played.
With electric player pianos, each roll has the correct tempo setting printed on it, and the holes tell the piano what notes to hit and when the damper or soft pedal should be activated.

The tune demonstrates Joel's flair for narrative and lyrical detail, as well as his unmistakable knack for a catchy hook--qualities that would be the bedrock of his success through the 1970s and '80s.
Joel was still developing his trademark style here, and while the rest of the album doesn't quite measure up to the strength of "Piano Man", it fits quite neatly into the rubric of the one-man folk-rock artists of the era (namely Elton John, but also acoustic guitar-wielding troubadours like Harry Chapin).
On the whole, PIANO MAN is an important step inJoel's development, and contains the musical and lyrical seeds that would sprout to full flower on albums like THE STRANGER, and subsequently catapult the artist to singer-songwriter stardom.

Although there are many karaoke versions of BillyJoel's songs, including his famous "Piano Man", I am unaware of any commercially-produced versions that have the harmonica part elided* to allow the singer to play harmonica himself.
the pinao instrumental break late in the song would be cool, but even the smallest portable keyboards are rather bulky to carry around.

 Tower Records - Piano Man [ECD] [Remaster] - Billy Joel
The title track from Billy Joel's major label debut, 1973's PIANO MAN, became a smash hit, and put the singer-songwriter/piano player on the musical map for good.
A story-song, the verses consist of character sketches given by the resident musician at a bar-lounge, and these build toward a sweeping, melodically infectious chorus, and a melancholic, carnivalesque refrain.
