26.Feb.2009 Paul Simon on PBS Tonight

PBS will broadcast a White House concert in tribute to Gershwin Prize winner Stevie Wonder tonight (check local listings). The concert, recorded Wednesday in the East Room, features the inaugural Gershwin Prize recipient, Paul Simon.

“I am so glad my children are growing up under an Obama presidency,” Simon said, before performing what the Washington Post described as a “quiet, quavering acoustic folk” treatment of Wonder’s “If It’s Magic.”
