Sam Yahel backing Paul Simon?

[Jim Alfredson]

I just saw the last bit of the PBS special awarding the Mark Twain prize to Lorne Michaels. Paul Simon sang "Still Crazy After All These Years", backed by G.E. Smiths band, but I swear that the guy playing Rhodes was Sam Yahel.

Of course, the credits went by so quickly I couldn't read if it was him or not. Anyone see this?

Yahel plays piano or organ on every single track of Madeleine Peyroux's new CD (Larry Goldings was the keyboardist on her last CD).

Neat. I'm still curious as to whether Sam was playing in Simon's band on that special.
