Music

Paul Simon, America's Folk Soul, offers a deeply moving and atmospheric rendering of his signature tune "Sound of Silence," on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 outrage on New York City and the Twin Towers where over 3000 souls were lost. The Live performance was delivered from Ground Zero. http://www.facebook.com A word about our comments. We all come from different perspectives and different views but my intention was to share the beauty of this sweet story teller and in someway comfort those who mourn. We all suffer loss from time to time so lets be kind with each other especially at a time like this. Update: requests are coming in to disable all comments as some are personally hurtful. I would hate to do this so please, vote down anything unkind and I will delete the most painful over the next few days. Thanks very much.
