Alexa Ray Joel- Billys Daughter!

(born December 29, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter and pianist.

She is the daughter of popular singer Billy Joel and his second wife, supermodel Christie Brinkley. ^[1]
Her middle name Ray was an honor Billy did to the late musician Ray Charles. ^[3]

Alexa Ray Joel began writing songs at a very early age.
Growing up in a musical household, she developed a gift for singing and songwriting and was always encouraged by her mother Christie Brinkley ^[4].
Her deep love of music stems from as early as the tender age of two, when her father would sing and play nursery rhymes for her on the piano. Like her father, she pursued classical piano training for quite a few years before developing a knack for songwriting. She would soon find that her skills in classical piano provided a solid foundation for her songwriting.

At 17, she attended the Berklee College of Music's Five Week Music-Fest, where she honed her skills as a performer.
She attended New York University's (NYU) Musical Theatre Program her freshman year, but by the summer started to pursue a career as a singer/songwriter.

By that fall, Alexa performed her first show at Maxwell's in Hoboken, New Jersey, followed by other gigs in the New York City area.
She has most recently been performing at colleges and venues around the Northeast United States, and finished up a nationwide Hard Rock Cafe Tour in May 2006.

After playing nearly 100 shows since leaving NYU’s Musical theatre program, Alexa put out her first musical creation in August 2006--a six song EP called Sketches. ^[5] This EP not only included her original songs with piano accompaniment but some original artwork as well. The EP is available through Target and iTunes.

Alexa is the very first independent artist to ever have exclusive rights through Target to distribute an EP.

In her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Alexa stated that the ballad "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)," found on her father Billy Joel's album River of Dreams, was written for her, and is her favorite song of his.^{[citation needed]}. The song "The Downeaster Alexa," on Billy Joel's Storm Front album, shares her name. Alexa wrote the song “Now It's Gone” about her mom’s split from Peter Cook after the allegations of his infidelity.

According to her MySpace page, Alexa used to describe her musical style as pop/soul/blues. However, that is not completely accurate anymore since she has since written songs that have fallen into the category of jazz and funk—she has even written one country song.

She is only 4 years younger than stepmother Katie Lee Joel.

Half Man , Half TREE!

BEFORE:


AFTER:


Dede Koswara - the man more commonly known as the Tree Man - was suffering from bark-like growths on his hands and feet that started appearing on his skin after cutting his leg at the age of 15. When the international media started reporting his story, Dede was in his thirties and these growths had taken over his life.

The media reports led to an American dermatologist Anthony More..Gaspari examining Dede and diagnosing his condition as a result of having HPV (human papilloma virus) and a weak immune system that allowed the warts to grow.

Now, the media is reporting on the ongoing success of his treatment and how it is transforming his life.

Dede has had a number of operations, with surgeons removing almost 4 lbs of warts.

Hands that once could hold very little are now grasping cups, cutlery, pens, cellphones, and even text messaging.

There is still a long way to go, but Dede is starting to see the possibility of a new life. Speaking from an Indonesian Hospital, Dede told the Daily Telegraph that first he wants to "get better and find a job. But then, one day, who know’s? I might meet a girl and get married."
