Paul Simon fan since

1995

Why you like Paul Simon?

We had a few early solo albums and i knew his songs from the radio. i became a big fan after i saw the cp91 concert on tv, it knocked me out. i like his music because all his albums are different. his beautiful music together with his meaningful lyrics and emotive voice are very expressive. it's great the way he keeps changing his songs so that they sound fresh in concert. still one of my favorites is the live concert in central park in 1991, great how he and all these musicians play together. the last tour in europe 2008 with a smaller band was also great, it's fantastic how he continues to write and create new music.

Special story with me and Paul

I was able to be at the soundcheck in glasgow 2006, got to talk to him and got his autograph on my surprise booklet. paul pointed at me during the concert because i was the 'cajungirl' who was the first to dance at the concert. in cologne germany 2008 i got his autograph for the second time and also from 4 band members, vincent, bakhiti, tony and mark. in stuttgart 2008 i was again the 'cajungirl' paul first pointed at me, with a big smile, i gave him a big smile back and we had a short but very nice hand talk (gesticulation) together, another great experience!

What do I wish Paul to do in the future

To find the spirit to write another great album after the very good surprise album.

Other musicians I like

Paul's Band, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Edie Brickell, Gaddabouts, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock,, Cyro Baptista, Richard Bona, Terrance Simien, Raul Midón, Milton Nascimento, Gary Stewart And Many More :)
