Billy Joel has played hundreds of 900-seat rooms, many back in the 1960s when the then-unknown was rocking the Long Island circuit. But last night the piano man returned to a tiny room for a thrilled crowd at University of Massachusetts at Lowell's intimate Durgin Hall.

Billed as "an evening of questions and answers ... and a little music," the event was one of just three college appearances for Joel this fall — the others were at Cornell University and the University of Connecticut.

In the latest video from our Billy Joel "Questions & Answers" lecture series, Billy is asked about his inspiration for the song "Miami 2017."
