"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence" - Paul Simon
I've not done this before.
I've not simply posted a "YouTube" video pretty much all by itself... However, when I stumbled across this relatively recent video of Simon and Garfunkel performing "Sound of Silence," I found myself moved and reminiscent.
I was introduced to Simon and Garfunkel by my friend Bob when I was about 15 years old. I thought they were OK, but they didn't "stick" with me until a couple of years later when I was in college. I have grown to love their work, and have listened to it repeatedly throughout my life.
Paul Simon is a consummate poet and musician.
His creativity inspires me. Having listened to the duo in my youth, and all my life — I think I have almost all of their early recordings, as well as most of Simon's solo work and some of Garfunkel's as well — hearing this more recent interpretation of the song stirred my emotions.
I was also intrigued to see how polished and well they worked together on the variations. Nostalgia kicked in pretty strongly, and I simply wanted to share this small piece of my life with my readers and followers.
God bless you, Paul and Art.

FIN
Thanks for your time and attention.
You are why I'm here on Steemit!
I have very eclectic interests and hope, over time, to write about them all.
