Lovely.
One of the best concerts I ever saw, S&G in Detroit in the 80s.

Love S & G ! Kathy's Song has always been a particular favorite. The whole Bookends album is a great listen.

Yes he is.
I was a huge fan, still am. When I was playing solo, I was ready to play virtually any Paul Simon song on request. I learned to play “Duncan” before the album came out because I stayed up to see him on the Tonight Show, recording the whole interview with my cassette deck pressed up against the tv speaker, and he played it. He’s an amazing songwriter and a really great guitar player.

I can remember as a youngster hearing Homeward Bound when it came out - mesmeric.

I grew up on them. Later, Still Crazy After All These Years became a sort of theme song for me. Spouse agrees.
I received a very enjoyable surprise in 87 when in NYC...I was tangentially co-opted to a play called Asinamali (We Have No Money) with which Simon was a producer.
A kind and powerful intellect drives his enormous talent and passion.
I consider myself fortunate to have been alive while Simon and Garfunkel were together.
There isn't a song by them together or individually that I dislike. Not one.
And this is my favorite of Simon's solo efforts.
I mean we are speaking of a talented man of impeccable taste and dignity afterall...

Paul Simon & Mark Knopfler taught me everything I know about guitar playing and song-writing.
Would have been a very comfortably-off accountant or computer programmer if I hadn't encountered those two in my late teens...

Scarborough Fair - what a song (ok, it is old and Made In England) arrangement and guitar, the voices.
Magic happened during the recording.
Paul Simon is maybe the musician for that century.
His birthday is one day after mine (not the year though
) but that means nothing but maybe it helps being a libra.
Life is good,

Ha. I'm an IT consultant and my wife is an accountant.
I don't think you could call either of us typical of the breed though. She paints and I play guitar. We both have a personality.

I really enjoy Arties recordings of old folks on Bookends. Sad that they are all gone, but their memories are preserved on wax. Pretty bold concept for a 60s pop album.
