In the middle of a boisterous song on a glorious night in New York’s Central Park, Paul Simon sings a verse that references his transformative journey from teenage folkie to musical globe-trotter.

Paul Simon, Song by Song: August 15, 1991 in Central Park, New York

Paul Simon was in his early 30s when he wrote “Kodachrome,” a song about the pangs of remembering, and he was in his early 70s when he opened a show with it in 2012 at Hyde Park in London.

Paul Simon’s 1991-92 “Born at the Right Time” tour, which played Central Park in New York in the summer of ’91, is a landmark event not just for its music, but for its historic amalgamation of international musicians from several continents and dozens of genres.
