(txt) Paul Simon and the Gershwin Prize-Michael Bouman

Songwriters: when I carry their lyrics around with me I feel as if I've grown up with them. The other night I saw a broadcast of a gala concert honoring Paul Simon. He won the first ever Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. The Library of Congress will award this prize to recognize a lifetime contribution to popular music that exemplifies the standard set by George Gershwin. The concert brought back a lot of memories, good ones and great ones. I wanted to write a little note about Paul Simon's lyrics. It's in my June 29th blog entry at CreatingInterest.blogspot.com
