We actually had tickets to see them in 2010, but the concert got cancelled and yes, it was due to Garfunkel's vocal issues. So disappointing! On the other hand, I was able to get tickets for The Who with the refund, so it worked out okay. ☺ Debbie D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/13153118405565035071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-57311770979874574692017-11-21T06:37:38.006-05:002017-11-21T06:37:38.006-05:00Wow.

They have now hated, seemingly with the fire of a couple whose divorce was characterized as "spiteful," longer than they were ever friends or collaborators. I can't imagine that. Imagine being forever intrinsically linked, owing your career, reputation, fame and future success all to a collaboration that you deeply regret. That has to be some rough soul searching nights as you try to go to bed.

I guess I always sided with Paul. Still liked his solo music, but didn't care for Art's. They were both unkind, that's for sure. Those songs from the late 60s--OMG! They take me right back. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-44477675712770331602017-11-18T23:31:43.737-05:002017-11-18T23:31:43.737-05:00Love and Not Love at its finest.

I'm a big fan of S&G and wore out their album "Bridge Over Troubled Water." But here I am voting for PigPen Theatre Co. whose performance of "The Only Living Boy In New York" which I loved! Got my fingers crossed for your potential job! Sending you an encouraging hug!
