Paul Simon Project #5 - You Can Call Me Al

On two separate occasions in the first half of 2019, a group of Irish musicians met up in one house and arranged, rehearsed and performed ten Paul Simon songs. We are very happy to present videos of these performances for your listening and viewing pleasure and as a tribute to a much-loved singer-songwriter and musician.

You Can Call Me Al

Carrick-on-Shannon singer/songwriter/pianist Ailie Blunnie has included this 1986 Paul Simon song (taken from his huge hit album Graceland) in her live set the last few years and it was fun for the group to find ways to add instruments and harmonies to the mix. And Marco got to use the ocarina he had brought along to the session.
