It seems all  it takes to get Billy Joel to show up and play is a vintage motorcycle show. Well, that and the fact he's in town when the event happens.People attending the event in Dania Beach, Florida were surprised when they figured out the guy playing the keyboards with the the local band, 'The Whipping Post' was Billy Joel.

According to the Miami Herald, Billy, a motorcycle fan and collector, was at the show on Saturday.  Clare Frost, the event organizer, told the paper, "He walked through the crowd without people really knowing who he was and looked at the over 230 vintage bikes on display and talked to a few of our vendors."  Then, says the organizer, he walked up to the band, and asked the lead singer if he could jam with them.

"Only about 25 (fans) were around them at first but I guess with Facebook, about 100 more showed up," continued Frost, adding, "When he got off the stage after about three songs, he signed autographs and had pictures taken. He then got about halfway across the field, got lost in the crowd, got on [his] bike...and left."
