Simon the pianist

Location: The dinner table. Uncle David is describing the scene at El Pinto, the 1,000-seat Albuquerque restaurant that has become a community institution.

David: Every politician who stops through New Mexico goes there. And every rock star and movie star. They have photos of the wall of every famous musician in the world hanging out there.

Simon: Was Beethoven there?

Following this conversation, Simon delivered a magnificent piano performance.
