 | can anyone here answer my 2 questions about that song:
1. Is it true that it was first written when Paul Simon was about 16 yo, and he sang it under the name of Paul Kane, or something like that?
2. Who is that Carlos Dominguez?

 | Hi Rannen,
If you use the search function (type in Carlos Dominguez) at the top of the forum you can find a lot of information about the song.
The copyright for the song is 1963 which would mean that Paul was 22 years Old when he wrote that song.

I used to have audio casstette till player eat and chewed cassette of Val singing Carlos on a documentary re Paul´s 1965 tour of england´s folk clubs. |
