Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

Simon and Garfunkel, one of my favorite groups. Whenever I feel overly stressed, Bridge over troubled waters always calms me down. I put on my Bose wireless headphones, and sit in my favorite chair, off by myself.

It's hard to argue with Simon and Garfunkle, but I still think Cat Stevens is my all time favorite. Of course, there are The Corries, and The Beatles, and ....

When I was a teenager, I was a hard rock guy, but my girlfriend loved Cat Stevens. Over the period of a few months, I also became a fan of his early music. Many sessions of listening to his music lead to chap lips.....

It's lovely. I like it when we bring the old back and live on! Those originals are the best.

You do ruin my fun, Ruth, but you're so sweet about the way you do it that I just can't hold it against you.
Andy, I believe I know what you mean about those lips.
Deb, thank you, thank you, for the real song.
I left my heart in 1960... Well, ok. I didn't really. In1960 I was only 7 years old.

You would bring up that particular song ! When I first heard Wild World on the radio, I didn't like it at all, and since a lot of the stations back then couldn't seem to be bothered to say who did a song, I wasn't aware that it was Cat Stevens. Soooo, when my favorite magazine, Stereo Review, did a two page article on this guy I'd never heard of - Cat Stevens - I just had to buy the album it mentioned. First song...Where Do The Children Play ? I love it ! Second song... Hard Headed Woman. I liked that one too. Third song... OH NO !!! This is the guy who sings that song I don't like !
Well, I could drag this out even longer, but suffice to say that in a short amount of time, I decided I did indeed like Wild World, and all the rest of Tea For The Tillerman.

Cats in the Cradle, and old Harry Chapin song. That song brings back many memories from my youth, and a song I have not heard in years.

How appropriate for this venue, BadMoonRising :
" But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
but your dreams may not . "
My Barbara is still here, but all of her hopes and dreams have disappeared.

I think my favorite song of his was “Moonshadow”. Once he changed in the early 80s, and became somewhat of a radical, it would be hard to listen to him again.

You have a great job if you can listen to you tube at work. The best music is from the 60's and 70's. Everyone likes it even the young people.

“In my life” by the Beatles........the “spoken” version by Sean Connery gives me the chills.
Love that old time rock and roll..... I always ask the kids and now, grandkids, “Where were you in ‘62?” They think I’m nuts.

Excellent, Drift Away, 1973. I was a hard rock fan, but this song is a classic, brings back lots of memories.
