Location: Phoenix AZ | Has anyone watched the Art Garfunkel DVD "Across America - Live from Ellis Island". Some seriously nice acoustic work by Eric Weissberg. Dave |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Yeah, yeah, yeah Artie, Amy, need Paul etc. The point is that Eric does some DAMN nice guitar work on this DVD. Plus he's got Warren Barnhart playing piano and Tom Biglin on keys. That's one hell of a line up even if you don't care for Art's music. Dave |

Location: NJ | I always liked his take on Tim Moore's "2nd Avenue". A bit schmaltzy & syrupy, but a nice production . . . .
I've heard tapes of the last S&G Tour & it sucked.
Everything was pretty much dropped down a key & a half, and they were pretty much singing in unison . . . no harmony whatsoever . . "take the money & run" . . . |

Location: Rego Park, NY, | Simon and Garfunkel went to Forest Hills High School. I went there a few years later. I guess that they wouldn't show up for their high school reunion. I remember sitting at one of those old wooden desk and chair things. Someone carved Paul Simon's name on the desk near the inkwell. I assumed that he would not be stupid enough to put his own name on the desk. |
