Great Paul Simon song , phenomial jazz calypso drumming by the great Steve Gadd, love the horn line and the super New York musicians performance . I hope to cover this tune with my band in Los Angeles, Murray M
In the mid 80s his career was in a lull and he came to Chicago to an outdoor theatre that held 20,000 people. But only about 2000 bought tickets. Through sheer luck I got first row center. He didn't even have a back up band. It was just him sitting on a stool with a boom box. They can only really see a couple of rows into the audience and he ended up singing to my girlfriend who had the biggest smile. He flirted with her all night. One of the best concerts and I have seen many great ones.
The fawning thing nearly took off!! yeeeeeehawww!!

Is this not part of the recording for the motion picture "One Trick Pony" as opposed to an SNL production?
