In short, billy joel wrote the famous song “new york state of mind” while he was taking a 🎵 “greyhound [bus] on the hudson river line”.
joel was quite literally on the way back to his rental in highland falls (below) when he came up with the lyrics for “new york state of mind”.

THE CROTON RESERVOIR
💧NYC DRINKING WATER

words on “the new croton reservoir” from the DEP’s website:
“located in westchester county, stretching through the towns of cortlandt, yorktown, somers, bedford, and new castle, approximately 22 miles from new york city.
formed by the damming of the croton river, which then continues southwest and drains into the hudson river.
consists of one river-like basin about 9 miles long.
holds 19 billion gallons at full capacity, the largest reservoir in the croton system.
placed into service in 1905, replacing the original, much smaller croton reservoir, which was the city’s first upstate water supply and went into service in 1842”
