My echo reacts to anything that even sounds like "Alexa"
Music is my life.

I played that line multiple times and it did not activate it.
I said alexa myself during the song playing to test, and it heard me but not Billy.
Lol, this is abnormal for my Echo.
I usually have to unplug it late at night because she will start talking at random and scaring the shit out of me

I'm thinking they wrote code for an exception where "Downeaster" precedes "Alexa". Neat lyrics about Block Island Sound in that song. My HS Band Director was later the Music Director for the School District on Block Island. During the School Year, he lived on Block Island. The rest of the year, he lived in Ossineke, near where his previous Band Director position was located. Great guy. He inspired me to be a much better musician. I wonder if he had Aaron K as a student there.

That song is a tribute to Billy Joel's daughter Alexa Ray Joel (from Christie Brinkley) from "The Bridge" in 1986.
