Thanks for posting, that was great!

Think of the nerve it would take to stand in center field at Yankee Stadium all by yourself and sing a song. No way I could do it, my knees would be knockin'.

I have never seen that video before. That was very cool! It does take a lot of nerve and confidence to stand out in the middle of center field all by yourself and sing and play like that. But, the folks in the stands were very supportive, so that was also very cool to see!

I'm going to have to see if I can play Mrs Robinson finger picking like that! What a different take on the song...

Good for Paul Simon!

It’s a neat piece of history. I’ve got about 2 hours into learning my take on the song. I couldn’t get over how “non-acoustic” his guitar sounded. Not bad for a 1 minute show but not “good” either... But just think what it takes to do something like that at Yankee Stadium..!
