Face to Face

Many of you already know the story...but it is worth repeating. My sister and I heard that Elton John and Billy Joel were coming to Chicago to perform at Wrigley Field so we got tickets for our family to go and decided to surprise our parents at a family dinner during Restaurant Week. Well...it turns out they had already bought the tickets for themselves. So, we sold one set of tickets to friends and laughed about the fact that we know our parent's pretty well!The concert was FANTASTIC! It was a gorgeous night and who doesn't enjoy spending time at Wrigley Field? (perhaps Cardinals fans). First Elton and Billy performed about 5 songs together - both on their own piano.
Then Elton performed for over an hour...he passed the baton to Billy who took over for an hour.
Then they joined forces for a few more tunes that got us out of our seats up and dancing!!!Well done boys!!!
