Longtime Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall's observations on developments in law, business, medicine, culture, sports, and other matters of general interest to the Houston business, professional, and academic communities.
Without a doubt, my all time favorite S&G song (of many).
On a related note, in acknowledgement of the 40th (!) annivesary of the release of their “Bridge over Troubled Water” album, Sirius satellite radio has been playing all-Simon-&-Garfunkel – all-the-time on Sirius channel 113. It’s amazing to me how long it’s been since I’ve heard some of those tunes….and how I STILL know all the lyrics to them.
Great stuff.
One little tidbit I heard during the interviews accompanying the songs on Sirius – Artie Garfunkel said that the “S&G sound” came from (along with their distinctive voices) a process where they first recorded a track with both of them singing into one microphone, then each of them individually recorded additional tracks by themselves, and then they layered the three tracks on top of each other.
I thought that was interesting.
Wow.
Thanks Big T.
Like fine wine.
Nobody does close harmony better.
