    So love this dude.... Such a master songwriter, guitar players, performer..... I was sooooo fortunate to have been able to see him on 9/7/18 in Tampa during his Farewell Tour. Such an honor, such a privilege, such a fulfilling night.... Thank you Paul Simon - so thankful we were in the same generation....

    I love the way John Selolwane always looks at Paul
    Simon intentionally while he’s singing, talking, playing, so attentive and respectful

    ANOTHER REASON HE LOVES THIS SONG...
    the second and third verses was a situation he was going thru. his wife stopped loving him.
    "we are going to Graceland
    My traveling companion is nine years old
    He is the child of my first marriage
    But I've reason to believe
    We both will be received
    In Graceland
    She comes back to tell me she's gone
    As if I didn't know that
    As if I didn't know my own bed
    As if I'd never noticed
    The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
    And she said losing love
    Is like a window in your heart
    Everybody sees you're blown apart
    Everybody sees the wind blow"

    Poor fellow listening is checking his watch, cleaning his fingernails, rubbing his eyes.
