At Paul Simon's concert at the Sound Academy in Toronto on 7 May 2011 people were calling out that they wanted Paul to play Duncan. He'd told them earlier he wouldn't deviate from the set list but then decided that he WOULD play it afterall and a woman called out that she learned to play guitar to Duncan so HE CALLED HER UP ON STAGE!!! Handed her his guitar and stood next to her while she sang and played the whole song! Could not believe it, every fan's dream! Such an amazing concert, and that would have never happened with the bigger crowd at Massey the night before. ;)
P.S. sorry for the shaky filming, was holding the camera up above my head the whole time!
Lin Brehmer of WXRT radio in chicago interviewed Paul the weekend of May 21st -

Someone tell Rayna to hear the pod cast of what Paul thought of this!

This was for sure one of the many "moments" in that memorable concert. It was one amazing night, young and "not so young", together, enjoying one great performer and his music.

Rayna you made our night! My husband and I (from Topsail) were at both concerts over the weekend. We thought that you being called up here was so awesome....of course we had no idea that a fellow newfie was the lucky girl on stage. Way to go! So much fun!
