 | We should have different categories to pick from :) it´s very hard to pick one song.
If I have to choose one it´s "Spirit Voices". I Love the magical journey in the song, the percussion, the gentle melody, Vincent Nguini´s guitar playing, the collaboration with Milton Nascimento, the falsetto background voice of Paul Simon. There is a lot to discover in this song.

It holds a very special place in my heart |

 | I never heard of two of those songs, but then I left S&G around 1970 for
country music,but two years ago I heard
a song and said what ever happened to
them? I thought retired. But my favorite song, this question is impossible to answer. SO I will just say "American Tune" of the well known
songs and am now into songs I never
knew about so I picked "Blessed." I
wonder if anyone ever sings that. |

| Hi Brenda, Love the video, very clever. Photos are also great. I´m having big trouble with utube streaming very erratic and slow.
Anyway, would you be able to post the names of the people in the photos, if possible? Thanks

| I always say "The Only Living Boy In New York" is my favorite song, and it always lifts me up. "Leaves That Are Green," "Kathy´s Song," and "Wednesday Morning 3 A.M." are the three songs that remind me of when I first discovered Simon and Garfunkel, so they mean a great deal to me as well. As much as I Love Paul Simon solo, the S&G era music gives me a nostalgic feeling for a time I only wish I could have experienced. |

Brenda, thanks. Names or caption would be great, if not too much trouble, whenever you can. |

| Brenda, I checked out the rest of your videos on your uTube channel, just great! The images are wonderful, a great collection. I haven´t listened to Bright Eyes in years.
I also think ´Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream´ is a great anti-war song. I was surprised to discover it in one of my primary school music ABC Radio books (35+ years ago - remember them ? ), and is one of the melodies I can play on the guitar, those books were great for the piano (Streets of London - beautiful ). |

| Mike, OLBINY is also one of my favourites, musically especially. I think this song and whole BOTW album brought a new sound into the 70s. The multi track ´aaah´ sound became popular in the 70s Elton John did it with a few songs (Candle in the wind, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road). |
