Subject: RE: 9/11: Responding through Music
I've been singing Paul Simon's "The Only Living boy in New York". I was a bit worried in case anyone took it the wrong way especially as it starts "Hey Tom get your plane right on time" but everyone who has heard it has found it really moving.

Paul is a New Yorker and the song has this lovely elegaic feel to it - works for me anyway.

ps

I previously guested as Roger from Beverley but am now a member with a name that comes from the make of my guitar. Don't forget, also, that we have a fund raising event for the families of the firefighters in the Sun Inn in Beverley on Sunday evening from 8pm.
