Video: Paul Simon Makes a Fan’s Dream Come True During Toronto Show

Paul Simon’s tour has brought a lot of joy to a lot of people over the last month, but the legendary singer/songwriter took things to a new level during a May 7 tour stop in Toronto when he invited audience member Rayna Ford to lead the band through Duncan. According to NPR’s Bob Boilen, Ford, a Paul Simon fan from Newfoundland, learned to play guitar on the song…

In a moment of astonishment and disbelief, Paul Simon invited [Rayna Ford] on stage, handed her a guitar and asked her to play it for the crowd. When she strapped on the guitar, the audience went crazy. In a few strums, the band played along, tears ran down Rayna Ford’s cheeks and Simon stood by her side in smiles.

There’s nothing like watching someone’s dream come true…
