7. this might be his last time singing

I had read he was retiring from singing.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. I hope not

I know this song was Art's song but Paul did it good. He's probably weary. What has gone on over 60 years.

[stopbush]

8. Why did he pick such a high key for his song?

Really having trouble singing it.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. That's 'cause Art usually sang it

and he would do the harmony.

[stopbush]

14. Yeah, but why not transpose it down a fourth or a fifth.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. The song is a lament

in a higher key. But it was probably because the house band only had the sheet music for the key he ended up singing it in.

9. I know!! I'm crying in tears of happiness. If folks can't see the difference in this convention

compared to the RNC, they're not living in reality.

This opening day is uplifting. I'm so proud of my party.

[procon]

10. Great choice! Both Paul Simon and the song he sang. nt

[AngryAmish]

13. I think his youthful, rock and roll energy changed everything.
