I'm a fan of S&G and Paul Simon. I guess I've come to see them as two separate entities.
Paul and Art, together created a third voice. Ever take note of how much unison they sang? The two voices completed each other.
They even breathe together.
I give Art all the credit in the world for being a part of that.

Paul has been a bigger all round influence on me though. Both as a writer and a player. I went to school on his acoustic parts all those years ago.
Who could have been what without each other? Who knows.
What they did together was unique.

My wife and I saw them on the reunion tour in the early 80's. Great show... similar to the Central Park set list. We read in the next days paper he and Carrie had married after the show.

Interesting thread on that black Carrie Fisher/PS Custom Legend here this week.
David Bergstrom was the artist rep when I became a keyman. Great guy.
I remember talking to him about the Ovations a couple of years after the Central Park show. David had been a part of the process between Simon and Ovation. He said Paul sampled the whole lineup, including Adamas, and chose the CL. It did sound great.

John, I take my chance to listen to your music. My congratulation. I like your style. Out of the four songs listed on my space now, my preference go to Cinnamon'song; musical and dreaming. Merry Christmas.

I've never been a "fan" in the strict sense of the word, but have admired the work of S&G, Paul Simon and, yes, Art Garfunkel as a solo artist.

Having said that, if I had to sit next to one of them on a flight to Hong Kong, I'd pick Garfunkel. Simon seems like a nice guy and would try to engage in conversation. Garfunkel would probably ignore me (but would be miffed that I didn't recognize him.)

I just don't want to talk to ANYbody that long.
