Simon and Garfunkel Reunite



There is much rejoicing amongst the baby boomers today, as following suit to the Police, and possibly even the Smashing Pumpkins, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle reunited in concert yesterday in Washington DC. Possibly two of the most influential voices in American Music, these two must have put on quite a show.

Paul also joined up with the Zulu choir Ladysmith Black Mambazo for the first time since 1999. The concert was in honor of Paul's recent reception of the Gershwin Award as reported earlier on this blog.

Other performances of the evening included were bluegrass star Alison Krauss, reggae singer Stephen Marley and Latin vocalist Marc Anthony, who all performed songs from Paul's repertoire.

For all those interested, and you know who you are, the concert will be aired on June 27 on PBS.
