Tom, get your plane on time, I'll know your part will go fine; fly down to Mexico... Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York
Simon & Garfunkel released their final album in 1970, Bridge Over Troubled Water. The great album contained the song The Only Living Boy in New York. It's a brilliant song and sounds great with headphones.
From what I have read, Paul Simon was left in the studio to finish the album as Art Garfunkel had flown to Mexico to film the movie Catch-22. Paul refers to Art as Tom, because they used to perform as Tom & Jerry.
I discovered Josh Lee Turner on YouTube just before Covid and became a big fan of his channel. The first video that I saw of his was with the cast of The Simon & Garfunkel Story doing the Buffalo Springfield classic For What It's Worth and I was hooked. I think I watched every one of his videos. To top it off, I ended getting to see The Simon & Garfunkel Story in 2000, just prior to the lockdown. It was a fantastic show, and Josh Lee Turner was the guitarist. This video captures his talent as well as the greatness of this song.
