The Peak, 10/13/08: Happy B-Day, Paul Simon
« on: October 13, 2008, 07:15:44 AM »
10 songs for a guy who turned 67 today.  Rob sez Paul lives in New Caanan, CT - news to me; I thought he and Edie still lived in the Dakota.

Anyway, BOS to "The Boxer" unless we get "America" later in the set.

Arrived for the tail-end: "Father & Daughter", still lovely and heartfelt.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
