The song book cover has this girl who is said to be the one who travelled with S&G in England and also the one mentioned in the song "America" - "Kathy I am lost" ... Is it true?

Any more stories?

Yes...more precisely, she made a long travel with Paul...:-) she was his girlfriend when he was in England...her name was Kathy Chitty, they met in a folk club...she inspired him "America", "Homeward Bound" and obviously "Kathy´s Song"...

Kathy still lives in Britain and has always wanted to keep a low profile and out of the spotlight regarding her "fame" as the inspiration for some of Simon´s songs and having been his girlfriend.

And during a PS tour some years ago, while Paul was in England, she sent him a letter and the media of course could not let pass this "event" and asked for a meeting bewteen the two ex lovers but they refused.

The media dug her out of North Wales several years ago ....I think there was a picture of her hanging out her washing!
I read somewhere that they did meet again after the last solo concerts but I don´t think it was anything to do with the press.

Could be wrong on this, but it´s what I recall of events.

Did Paul receice Kathy´s letter that she sent? What was his reaction? Positive, I hope.

I wonder, on the Old Friends dvd, when Art starts to sing Kathy´s Song, he is saying something like, I wanna dedicate this song to the Love of my life, kathy, who later became my wife?? I never understood this, since I thought she was Paul´s girlfriend. can sombody please explain this?? Or am I just being stupid, and did I miss something???

Art dedicates this song to Kathryn who is his wife. Kathryn is her full name but she is called Kim.

Kim is her little nickname...after, it is better than "Chouchou" or "Roudoudou"... :-)

LOL ! For sure ! (though Roudoudou is quite cute ;-) But Kim is not really a nickname but already a real name ! So, that´s strange (or maybe I´m not bright enough to see the link ;-))

And her stage name.... Kim made her debut recently, there is an article in The Rolling Stone from february.

Issue 967 February 10, 2005 Page 42

Totally Gar-funky

"I´ve been ready for a long time," says Art Garfunkel´s wife, Kim. she made her New York stage debut with an intimate gig at Au Bar, singing tunes such as Paul Simon´s "Bleeker Street" and Bob Dylan´s "Gotta Serve Somebody." Their fourteen-year-Old son, James, is also a singer. Look out for a hot new collabo from Artie Art and the Garfunkel Bunch.

That is bizarre, I´ve never been called Kim, nor would anyone think to call me that lol

I seem to remeber reading an interview with Art where he said it was somthing he called her. Why Kim, I´m not sure, but it´s obviously something special between them.
