Rayna Ford at Toronto Paul Simon concert has life changed, plays Duncan and wins over audience.

*PLEASE READ* PREAMBLE BUILDUP TO THIS CLIP: So at the Paul Simon Concert, he was intterupted when talking about playing a song that he hadn't played before by someone in the audience yelling DUNCAN! So he pauses and says "Sure! Let's do Duncan! It messes with my whole setlist but yeah!" after which a completely seperate person [Raina] yells "I LEARNED GUITAR ON THAT SONG!" after which Paul Simon pauses and decides that SHE SHOULD GO ON STAGE. Probably just as a fun thing for her to play, have fun with the audience, etc. but it turns out she's REALLY GOOD! The audience gets right into it, the band strikes up and it's just pure MAGIC.

I know the video quality is poop and I hope someone has a better version because again these are mainly being uploaded to show my friend. I hope it makes the news tomorrow and that she goes far because this could really be the start of something for this girl if things go right.

Mind my OMGs, Hehehyeah and WOOs! Again, sorry for the poor quality guys, I hope someone has better footage. BTW IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS GIRL OR HER TWITTER, etc LEMME KNOW! I'd love to see what happens, where she goes, and if she's actually written or played anything else.

@StacksMaxwell ^_^ Rob and Rayna, thanks so much for being at the concert, working up the courage to get on stage and showing the amazing showmanship that you did to perform as well as you did. Call me a fan, seriously. I hope this means big things for you, and even if it doesn't I'll sure never forget it either. It was a great concert, sure,but ask anyone who was there and you stole it. Hope you open for him next time he comes around. Take care and thanks for letting me share this memory ;)

Rayna,

This has to be one of the most amazing vids I've ever had the pleasure to watch. You really shone, girl, and all who watch can feel all the millions of emotions racing through your mind and heart. It took an amazing presence of mind to keep it together under such circumstances. I loved it. And God bless Paul for his heart and grace.....music, only music can heal the world
