I am envious , I used to be able to get hold to a D harmony in my younger years but certainly not pitch perfect.

My son was always much more accomplished better than me with a capo on the fret so I would sing this song to his best version of PS.

Artistic differences cut their output by some margin and to think they only made 5 studio albums for me places their legacy along the lines of CCR as legends of their time in the highest bracket.

26 singles all of great quality and a number of others that would have made it had they decided to release them from just 5 albums places Paul Simon in the top echelon of song writers for me certainly in my top ten.

I differ to most fans and place PSRAT ahead of Bookends and BOTW as my favourite album of theirs in part due to this song. I still play it often today after some 50 years since I purchased it on vinyl.

As a 12 year old, i stayed in Toronto with my younger cousins, aunt and uncle. There was sod all to do so I raided their record collection which was mainly Burt B and the like, but shining like a diamond, was BOTW which I had never heard before and loved immediately and still do. That was the sound of Toronto and I then moved to a different set of relations in Detroit where Alice Cooper was the sound of the moment (but thats a different story).

BOTW is still my favourite but I love all their albums and Paul Simons solo stuff is also exceptional. We will be well set if the pair of us ever do a karaoke - I do a mean 'So long Frank Lloyd Wright' as well.
