Oh wow. I love your adoration / admiration / infatuation / love for Mr Simon. I got to see Paul Simon in Port Elizabeth in 1990. It was a spectacular concert. You are truly going to have a jol.

I bet Paul Simon would love reading this as much as I did. The S&G albums are definitely part of my childhood memories as well. Enjoy every minute of his concert.

‘I remember singing along to Graceland while sitting next to Jeremy and plaiting Lucinda’s hair in the school minibus. Red dunes whizzed past the windows and the sky was enormous.’

Too good ❤️❤️❤️.

When I saw this pop into my Inbox I had to stop everything and read it. I just knew S&G would be in there. I listened to it the other day. Knowing the words from the songs and in between, Same. "I thought it might somewhat crowded, but we er, we seem to have filled the place."

JDH356T, what a memory!

Wow, what a treat to see him in concert. Can't wait to hear about it.

"I just wanna thank ... the police department. And the fire department. Aaand the Parks Commissioner. And particularly, you know people that never get recognised for doing, uh, for doing good deeds for the city ... "

Aw Rob, you made the tape. You knew the number plate. Thank heaven for you.

(I suspect that 'ou Paul' – I can hear David Kramer calling him that – might be over-serious and play too much of his new stuff. You know what he's like. But I'll enjoy every minute of it anyway and report in full detail when I see you.)
