  | Pelle, Paul performed at a Tribute to the late Seamus Heaney in Dublin 23 April 2014. He set a couple of Seamuus's poems to music (and named it "Dangerous Pavements") as he did not want to read Irish poetry with an American accent.

  | Thanks Brenda for the link - I missed that completely.
Well, why not counting it a new Paul Simon song? Some musicians do nothing else than making music to other peoples poems or writting ;-) |

| I agree Pelle and it is a lovely song. Scaaty, I recorded the song when listening to the broadcast on RTE a few days after the event and thought I would share it on You Tube as it was such a lovely tribute to Seamus. If you have any problem downloading it let me know and I can send you the file . By the way do you know who is in the photo with Paul at 6.31 in the video? |
