In an almost wild and disturbing sense, the songs on this album dance around from classic Simon and Garfunkel duets, to covers of traditional folk songs, to a sound collage of Simon and Garfunkel singing Silent Night while a radio broadcast plays. Hearing Homeward Bound and Scarborough Fair/Canticle for the first time elicited such a response of nostalgia for a time I had never known, that I immediately started asking my grandparents what it was like to grow up in the 1960s. They didn’t really have a good answer to that question, since both of my grandfathers are Vietnam vets and my grandmothers already had children before 1970 had even started. 

Listening to Simon and Garfunkel and believing yourself to be a music connoisseur seems to be a common experience that transcends generations. I say this because I was (and still am) proudly part of the new generation of pretentious Simon and Garfunkel listeners.
