Yep, that's the song. It was a splendid moment per the song and very 
subtle chemestry and shared tenderness for each other, that seems to 
shine through. They were singing from different ends of the stage but 
you could feel it. She was slightly shy looking fumbled at the mic a 
bit but was clearly having fun (that was also part of the charm). 
Really a lovely moment....AND a terrific song. The entire show was 
really great. People would yell out requests and he'd reply "OK, yeah, 
well do that one". Until he finally told people that he was getting "to 
tired from all the requests" but then said he kidding. My only 
complaint is that he was a rabid gum chewer. A few times chomping into 
the mic. Just one those things for me... But, he still totally won me 
over in his performance and in his songs. Really a great night.
  I've been getting his music via emusic. I raced home after the show 
and downloaded "The Man Who Doesn't Know How To Smile" and others right 
away. Of the songs I knew prior to the show, he sang most of them 
except one of my favs "Middle School Years" (I might have the title 
wrong). 
  Oh, I also see he has a DVD coming out of live performance from the 
1972 tour.
