06.Jun.2010 Simon & Baez

As Rolling Stone reported (and as the Children’s Health Fund live-tweeted), Joan Baez joined Paul Simon after his short set in support of the CHF Wednesday night in New York. Simon & Baez dueted on “The Boxer,” as they did at the Bread & Roses concert nearly thirty years ago. Baez was being recognized by the CHF, which Simon co-founded in the eighties, for her humanitarian work. Simon was accompanied by Mark Stewart during his set; Baez also sang “Diamonds and Rust.”
