sorry - don't know what song this is

I'm guessing 'The Downeaster "Alexa"', although not sure what the middle image is meant to be?

You got it Steve!
The middle image is a compass pointing in an easterly direction.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.

Initial line & color logic solves 68% with only black remaining.

R1: EL marks C13-15 black. LL.

R11: EL marks C13-15 black. LL.

C19: EL marks R5-7 black.

LL to finish.

Oh! I usually don't know the things people refer to here, except for Doctor Who, but I think I've memorized most of Billy Joel's songs, so, when I saw the title, I was hoping that I could be first to get this one! But after I solved it, all I figured out was the word "Down" and I didn't think of The Downeaster Alexa until after I saw Steve's guess. Yonah: Is the third image an Amazon Alexa gadget? Fun!

Heh, yes, the third image is indeed an Amazon Echo (Alexa).

Great one!

Gosh, I *never* heard this song before! I guess it didn't get much radio play in the Birmingham area.

The song was released after I had given up on listening to popular music on the radio, so I only know it because I bought the CD when it was new. I don't think I've ever heard it on the radio. Which is too bad, since it's a gorgeous song.
