Notes:  Seeing Paul Simon was on my wife’s
bucket list so when I saw he was playing Nashville we got tickets.  We
even brought my 11 year old son to his first “real” concert.  This was an incredible show.  For someone who is 76 years old to play for well over 2 hours straight (the encore breaks were really not breaks) is amazing.  Paul was in a good mood, talking and dancing frequently.  He talked about this being his final tour and I really do feel like he is done touring which makes me even happier that I was able to see him live.  Below are some bad cell phone pics.
