Last Saturday, Paul Simon performed at the Sound Academy in Toronto, promoting his new album, “So Beautiful Or So What.”
Between songs, a fan named Rayna Ford asked Simon to play “Duncan,” telling him that she had learned to play guitar to that song. Simon, as good a showman as he is a singer/songwriter, invited Ford onstage, then handed her a guitar and let her perform “Duncan” for the crowd. You can see the awe and joy in her face as she lets loose, with the band joining in, creating what is surely one of the highlights of her life — and Simon gets a huge kick out of it, too…
