Nice one, Brenda! very embarrassing though to have a Paul Simon report in an Irish newspaper picked up by someone in Australia. Took my eye of the ball there!

It was on line Scaaty at 12.16 Irish time so I guess you may have been asleep! It was 10.16 am here when I saw it. Thought Paul read the poem beautifully. Loved it when he said he must have spoken it 50 times that day!

Thanks Brenda - a poignant piece at the end reminding us that while the world may have lost a great poet - his family have also lost a much loved father and husband
