It was just recently re-broadcast on Digital Comcast (Phila, South Jersey) but check out PBS. I was wowed by this broadcast and recorded it and am hoping some of it might become a podcast.
Arlene….. a fan of Paul Simon from way back…
Can anyone tell me the name of the song Marc Antony performed on the Paul Simon Gershwin Award show on PBS aired end of June? PLEASE
