You could never fake the emotions on display here. What an amazing thing to do. I think PS looked as if he was going to accompany her a couple of times but seemed to rethink as if saying I don't need to she's doing a good enough job on her own.
Thanks Dennis for posting this great stuff. The world needs more Paul Simon like people.

I've seen Jewel do this at a concert once and she laughingly said something like " are you sure you want to do this, it's a whole different ball game in front of so many people!"
I, for one, can black out on even the simplest of songs I know by heart if the pressure is too great so I'd love to do it but wouldn't know if I could until I stood there. I'd give myself a 50-50 chance. I think the fear of stuffing up would win-out over the chance to shine.

Looked that way to me as well. What a great moment, for both Paul and Rayna....

That was indeed very cool. It's nice to know that there are artists that do respect their fans. It looked like Paul Simon truly enjoyed giving this woman a moment in the limelight.

Dennis, that was really very touching. It sent me off on a Google expedition and led me to post on the "Changing Lyrics" thread.
I wonder if you get a commission for that ?
