Paul Simon performs at Forest Hills Stadium tonight and Friday night in support of his recently released “Stranger to Stranger”. I last saw Rhymin’ Simon with Sting at Madison Square Garden. Sting is currently on a similar type tour with Peter Gabriel.

Now I first sort of saw Mr. Simon with Art Garfunkel from quite a distance at the now legendary Central Park concert. The venue at Forest Hills will most definitely provide a better vantage point at least for me.

Paul and Art Garfunkel grew up in Forest Hills so these shows are a bit of a homecoming for Simon.

My daughter is getting married in August and I discovered the perfect father-daughter dance song on Simon’s “Surprise” CD. Until recently,  I mistakingly believed I was the only one who had found the beautiful song “Father and Daughter” only to find that it is a top ten most popular wedding number.

Thank you Google.
