I guess I hate to disappoint! Listened to this when first posted, and loved the playing, and of course the song. Billy always managed, at least in his earlier days, to avoid sounding West Coast, and really helped define that New York approach to the arrangements. There’s no way this song would have sounded like this in Hollywood!

But, you want constructive criticism, I have to admit I had a hard time getting past that drum groove. I don’t know what you used, but for me it sounds a bit stiff and too out front in many places. What YOU played was wonderful (warts an’ all!), but your drummer let you down…

Perhaps just shoving it back in the mix, and maybe wetting it up a bit might be the simple fix, but there are definitely times when I was hearing quarters on a ride rather than that eighth hi hat, maybe a looser slow ballad type style…

But you made me reach down deep to find anything to fault, Chas! Lovely playing, lovely song.. ♥️

By the way, I used to live on 52nd St in Manhattan back in the day. So appropriate!
