Reminds me of a video somewhere on YouTube of Paul Simon inviting a woman in the audience who requested "Duncan" to come up and play it with him, as it was the first song she learned on the guitar. He handed her his guitar and got another from the guitar wrangler. He has a curmudgeonly reputation, so that was a nice touch.

My sister-in-law was at that concert. (Her daughters go to Vanderbilt). She was so impressed that she texted my wife shortly after the concert. :roll:

Pretty cool. I like the way he does some musical "jousting" with the kid at the end of the song.
