Per Chiara

Sunday musical excursion #16

Here’s a song I played for a friend over 30 years ago and it worked. We’re still friends after all that time. She has a few grey hairs now: sail on, silver girl.

Paul Simon wrote the song, and it was the last one he and Art Garfunkel recorded before they split up. Funny, that.

I know everyone knows it. Can you recall the impact it made when you first heard it?

Bridge Over Troubled Water
