I’m in the process of learning some Fiona Apple songs, so in the meantime I’ve been playing Billy Joel tunes.
Very few people showed up (presumably because of the world cup), so people got to play more than once!
Also I saw a family friend there which was super sweet.

Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine
Billy Joel - Allentown (I didn’t prepare a new second song)
I am hoping to do many more Fiona Apple songs in the future, they’re a good challenge :)
