Billy Price Band

WYEP Community Broadcast Center, Pittsburgh, PA.....

This was a really nice night. We had a surprise birthday party for Pittsburgh music legend Billy Price. I was enlisted to invite Billy to come to the station to record an interview, but he had no idea his partner had planned a surprise party and invited his band and a bunch of his friends. Of course, they ended up on stage and did a great set of music.

We recorded the whole thing and aired it on WYEP later. Fun for all!

"I know it costs more money to shop there but this was love, this was love," Jonathan croons on the song's bridge. "I know you had to pay more money, I'll pay money, I'll pay more. I don't care what the mall has got, I want back that corner store." Modernity ...
