I had the opportunity to see Paul Simon at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco this summer. His music makes up a big part of the playlist of my life, from Simon & Garfunkel tunes in my youth, to his first solo songs in my 20s, to his iconic Graceland Album during my years working in New York City. I remember seeing him perform at Radio City Music Hall for the Graceland Tour in the mid-1980s, and that album and his performances along with LadySmith Black Mombaza were a game-changer. This concert was quieter, starting with his Seven Psalms, a 33 minute contemplation on mortality. Then he played lots of favorites. It felt sacred as an evening of music, and I feel so fortunate that my husband and I got to bear witness one more time.
