Monday Music: The Sound of Silence

Paul Simon announced this past week in a letter that he will be retiring this year. I offer today's Monday Music feature in celebration of a long, wonderful, and fascinating career.

Several years ago I took great delight in watching the DVD of Simon & Garfunkel's "Old Friends Tour" in 2004. Such a wonderful concert! This feature of the duo singing their first big hit, "The Sounds of Silence," came many years later. It looks to be from their 2015 reunion tour. Like all of us (if we are lucky) they are getting old, but the amazing thing is how they can still bring this song to life (and Artie can still hit those high notes!). The song is just as beautiful after all these years.
