Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest
(from: “American Tune” by Paul Simon)
Simon and Garfunkel's “Concert in Central Park” war die erste CD des Sekretärs (“American Tune” ist Stück Nr. 9). Henri Cartier-Bressons Bildband “America in Passing” sah er auf seiner ersten Dienstreise in Bilbao in der Auslage einer Buchhandlung gleich neben seinem Hotel und konnte einfach nicht widerstehen.

Simon and Garfunkel's "Concert in Central Park" was Secretary's first CD ("American Tune" is track #9). He saw Henri Cartier-Bresson's photobook "America in Passing" on his first business trip to Bilbao in the display of a bookstore right next to his hotel and simply could not resist.
"A pilgrim on a pilgrimmage
Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge
His sneakers torn
In the hour when the homeless move their cardboard blankets
And the new day is born
Folded in his backpack pocket
The questions that he copied from his heart
Who Am I in this lonely world?
Where will I make my bed tonight?
When twilight turns to dark
Questions for the angels...
Who believes in angels?
Fools do...
Fools and pilgrims all over the world..."

Because that's this boy's name. This handsome labradoodle is ten years old, very sweet and so lovely. His name is Al and we met him today at the pinball championships. Al gives super kisses too.
Right away Paul Simon's song jumped into my head because of this boy's name and the lyrics of the song so appropriate.

Cape Town doesn't only have spectacular nature and beautiful coastal views, we also have the African townships, where life is hard and difficult for many people to endure, this little boy is probably around 10 years old and carries a heavy bucket probably filled with clean water where he had to walk for a kilometre or so to fetch it from a central tap for the community, for use at home...
But the best African music and rhythms have started in these townships...
This clip was filmed in Zimbabwe but celebrating SA music...it was the music I grew up with!
Good morning, Mr. Leitch.
‘Ave you had a busy day ?”
“Prior to this lifetime
I surely was a tailor
(Good morning, Mr. Leitch.
Have you had a busy day?)
I own the tailor's face and hands
I am the tailor's face and hands and
I know I'm fakin'n it
I'm not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it.”
~Simon and Garfunkel “Faking It”

And tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am, where I am?
He said, "'Cause that's not the way the world is, baby
This is how I love you, baby
This is how I love you, baby.."
– Paul Simon, Hearts and Bones

"The way the camera follows us in slo-mo" - from "The Boy in the Bubble" by Paul Simon
Sometimes on the return from Iona Park, Miss Baker appears suddenly as we round the corner, and if I'm lucky, she has the right light on her.
"the nearer your destination
the more you're slip slidin' away ..."
Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know your part'll go fine.
Fly down to Mexico.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da and here I am,
The only living boy in New York.
I get the news I need on the weather report.
I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am
The only living boy in New York
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where,
And we don't know here.
Tom, get your plane right on time.
I know you've been eager to fly now.
Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine
Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da
Like it shines on me
The only living boy in New York,
The only living boy in New York.
*Paul Simon*

There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the Human Trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
"Whoa, so this is what she means..."
– Paul Simon, Graceland
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy...

From The Sound of Silence
Written by Paul Simon
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
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
Performed by Simon & Garfunkel

TOTW - fashionista ... yes, i set the trends. a huge shirt, boxer briefs, marled socks & chucks... hot damn indeed, folks
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence

A street musician in the Dianatempel in Munich had just laid down his cello after delivering a moving performance of Simon & Garfunkel's anthem.

I've come to talk with you again..
One I grabbed the other morning, from my garden.
Damn Sugar, that kiss felt so good.
That I'll go from 1 - 50 for you
Just to set myself free.
But Baby, I have to wonder if one day
You'll go from 51 - 100
To free yourself from me...
50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
as performed by Paul Simon
(quoting only appropriate lyrics)
....She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Oh you hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free....
And the bridge ain't looking so passable either.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
One dreams of dreams.
Love in the ruins.
I often use song titles to name my photographs posted on Flickr. Today it was a song title that influenced me to take this image.
Forty years ago, on this date, Paul Simon released the album Graceland. The last track on this musical masterpiece is titled "All Around the World or The Myth of Fingerprints".
At the time this was written Paul Simon had no concept of the digital world we live in today (positive and negative). Perhaps this was a cautionary tale, you can be the judge.
Below are his lyrics:
Over the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives a former talk-show host
Everybody knows his name
He says there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
I've seen them all and man
They're all the same
Well, the sun gets weary
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit town
Somebody says what's a better thing to do
Well, it's not just me
And it's not just you
This is all around the world
Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere
There's a former army post
Abandoned now just like the war
And there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's what that old army post was for
Well, the sun gets bloody
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit town
Somebody says what's a better thing to do
Well, it's not just me
And it's not just you
This is all around the world
Over the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives the former talk-show host
Far and wide his name was known
He said there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's why we must learn to live alone
The corridor to the Clock Tower at Antler Hill Village on the Biltmore Estate. Asheville, North Carolina.
Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall.
The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall.
It's no matter if you're born
To play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy
Becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall.
Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall

Excerpt from carnegiegallery.org/about/"
In 1979 a group of local residents organized a Craft Carnival to raise funds for repairs to the former Carnegie Library. These residents formed the nucleus of what was to become the Dundas Art & Craft Association.
The Dundas Art & Craft Association, incorporated in 1980 as a not-for-profit charitable organization, opened the Carnegie Gallery (housed in the old library) as an outlet and exhibition space for area artists and craftspeople.
Thanks to the support of members, friends, the City of Hamilton, the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the many Gallery volunteers, the Carnegie is proud to celebrate our 45th anniversary inspiring fine art and craft.
The Carnegie Gallery welcomes over 20,000 visitors annually. As a dynamic cultural centre and tourism magnet for the community of Dundas and surrounding area, the Gallery has been a critical cornerstone in supporting the development and success of its Artist Members.
To learn more about the history of the Carnegie Gallery and see archival photographs, visit the Building Cultural Legacies website – “The Carnegie Gallery” article written by Nancy McKibbin Gray.

April come she will youtube
April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again.
June, she'll change her tune,
In restless walks she'll prowl the night;
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.
August, die she must,
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
September I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old.
Kathy's Song youtube
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies.
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.
And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.

It was one of those "bucket list" places for me and as it turned out for my sister as well. So we packed up and went on a road trip!
It's a very unassuming building but you can just feel the history when you take the tour.
A couple side notes;
The blue sign on the building was not there until Cher recorded and put the address sign on her album did they decide to actually put it on the building.
If you've ever heard Lynyrd Skynyrd you will undoubtedly know the line "Well Muscle Shoals has the Swampers..." The Swampers are the studio musicians.
