Simon and Garfunkel, The Harmony Game

MissA, subtitles are my 'default setting' !
They make such a difference.

I didn't realise how much I couldn't hear until I heard it!

Bridge over Troubled Water is my all time favourite album.
My family have been informed the song is to be played at my funeral .

Missed the programme Jane
but not too upset as DH and I are just back from a lovely evening at the theatre.

The Simon and Garfunkel story!

we played “Still crazy after all these years” at DH funeral , very fitting as he was quite eccentric! We loved Simon andGarfunkel’s music . Often have “Gracelands” playing when cleaning , it gives me a lift !

They sing so beautifully together..

We're watching it now. Bridge Over Troubled Water LP. Fabulous.

We're big fans and watching both programmes tomorrow.
My favourite track is The Sound of Silence. Such a sad moving song.

What a wonderful programme this was. I have always loved their music. It’s yet another soundtrack for our generation isn’t it?

I’m so glad I spotted it was on. Saturday night is usually a dead loss for someone like me who has never been a Strictly fan.

As for the new Blankety Blank, well words fail me.

I totally agree! Not a strictly fan, not brain dead enough to watch blankety blank. Loving Simon and Garfunkel, absolutely wonderful music

Have you heard the version by 'Disturbed', muse?

Lemon, my brain has cleared. It's A Heart In New York, written by Gallagher & Lyle and performed by Simon and Garfunkel.

I was very much into Simon & Garfunkel slightly earlier as a boyfriend was a fan, so had The Paul Simon Song Book with songs I absolutely loved, I am a Rock, April Come She Will and then a bit later Homeward Bound and Scarborough Fair. Those songs really take me back to a magical time. I continued to follow them and Bookends is probably my favourite album, especially America. I have to say there were two albums that EVERYONE had, literally everyone, Bridge Over Troubled Water and Tubular Bells.

I can never listen to Bright Eyes, the theme to Watership Down without fighting back tears.

Such a beautiful song.

Still watching it! Brought back so many memories of me aged 18; sang along to all the songs and knew every word. Classics, all of them. Feel quite teary, just where have all those years gone, and how quickly?!! How did that happen?

Me too.
Feel teary as well.

I have managed to see live most of the musicians I admire, but seeing Paul Simon was not to be. Sadly, he no longer tours, a big regret for me, just love his voice.

MissAdventure I know, we should be happy to hear those songs from our youth, but somehow it just makes us wistful and sad that those days are long gone ?

Who was the best you've seen live?
I'm turned on to watching the "art of drumming" on sky arts now.

Oh well now, I think it's a draw between Billy Joel and Michael McDonald, but then again it could be James Taylor (all seen in concerts in Manchester). So hard to choose my favourite. What's yours MissAdventure?

Probably the Stone Rose's at Finsbury Park.
Dusk fell, and they did a 12 minute guitar solo, with mesmerising kaleidoscopic lights on huge screens.
The atmosphere was out of this world (but I appreciate it's not everyone's taste!)

Sounds amazing MissAdventure.

Also, forgot to mention seeing The Faces in Manchester Free Trade Hall (now a hotel) when I was 16, I was so excited, my older sister took me (she also took me to see The Small Faces when I was 10, felt so grown up!).

It was sublime.
All gone now though.
The memories last, though.

Don't they just!

I recorded it last night when DGS was here, after Church today when he is returned to his parents(annoy Grandma on a Sunday afternoon and action will be taken) I plan to watch it with a nice cup of tea.

I remember when it came out and liked it but to remind myself I watched the music video last night. The version is brilliant. Not too much but it’s the power of his voice suits the lyrics. Art’s voice still sends shivers up my back when he sings it though.
