Simon family sings for a friend

~* Brickell´s and Simon´s songs for a friend *~

Just the chance to hear Paul Simon play an acoustic set Aug. 26 at the Music Hall at Fair Park is the closest most people will come to being invited inside the home of one of America´s foremost composers and most zealously private celebrities. But he is the second act on the bill. It´s his wife, Dallas-raised Edie Brickell and her band, the New Bohemians, who are headlining the show as a benefit for Edie´s childhood friend, Dallas actor Robert Meadows.

The mom connection

From the lean years of single motherhood until this very day, Edie´s mom, Larry, and Robert´s mom, Charlene, have remained best friends who have supported each other through life´s adversities. Last October, Robert suffered a brain injury when he was brutally attacked during a robbery at a 7-Eleven. With his medical bills already topping $1.5 million, Edie is doing for Robert what their mothers would do for each other – whatever it takes. Paul, who also is friends with the Meadows family, volunteered to lend his talents. The couple then drafted 15-year-old guitar player Tyler Dow Bryant, from Edie´s mom´s hometown, and his band to play a set. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 214-373-8000 or 972-647-5700.For information about Robert, go to http://www.robertcmeadowsfund.com/about_robert.htm
