OMG!!! Jerry you have done it. I have been waiting several years in hopes you would add some more of the solo Paul Simon songs. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have just finished At the Zoo and now will dive right into this great tune.
NOW this gives me some hope that “Armistice Day” and “Peace Like a River” will eventually make it to your lessons which would be the pinnacle of my Paul Simon hopes.
Thank you again Jerry
Going right into this lesson now….
