I often wonder where the brilliant talent in the world comes from. So seldom to we get the chance to truly understand the workings of these incomparable minds. Autobiographies generally fall way short. Not so with 700 Sundays. I was there when he stood on the musical instrument case and performed for the first time in front of his father's musician friends. I was in Billy's living room when he performed for his family. I was with him when his Dad's business had to close and I felt his "otherness". I love it now when I think of all the times I think back on Billy's references to "FACE", the nickname he got from Zutty, and then he says "Can you dig that? I knew that you could". Someone else may have said it first but when I hear those words, it's all Billy Crystal.

I've never been disappointed by any of Billy's work, be it stage, stand-up, movies or emceeing an event. This book just brings it all together.

Thank Billy, for sharing your 700 Sundays with me
