  • Ben and I found that the 3rd floor lobby of the Robinson Center in Little Rock, AR had pretty decent acoustics (despite the droning whir of the HVAC).

    As a 70 year I grew up listening to S&G with a religious fervor. I knew all the lyrics by heart and became my own best audience. I stumbled upon you guys today for the first time as I was surfing UA-cam looking for a different subject. I went no further. I was captivated by your adherence to the original with your own kind of blended voices that recreated the original but was all you. Thanks for bringing a warmth and inner glow that I have not felt for a long time. Thank you

      I feel the same way. I can't get enough of these two. I prefer them to the original. Saw them in Rochester, NY last year. They were amazing

      Me too. I viewed this 1 year after you, so we must be about the same age, I was born in July 1952. I've always loved Paul and Art when they were together, and to me their whole of their two talents was greater than the sum of them. Their only album that I didn't care for was a 1969 live album. It's a shame they couldn't overcome their differences. Paul is a bard, Art has (had) the voice of an angel.. still good, but lower.

      These two toured the USA in a Simon and Garfunkel review. They beat out hundreds of guys for the roles. They are fantastic. I too was S & G devotee. I relate.

    Singing with the purity of S&G, 1960s, isn't something that many could hope to do, but y'all did it and in a lovely, chill-bumpy way. So nice.

    I'd love to see them do some more S&G stuff...like: Patterns, a poem written on the underground wall, and Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall. these guys can nail anything, and bring tears to anyone's eyes.

    You are troubadours for our times--a poet and a one man band. With this beautiful song you took me back to college years--memories both bitter and sweet. Your tour with this music couldn't possible have come at a better time for our country. Look forward to seeing you in Cleveland. Best wishes.
