I have a very interesting new problem in that as I was working yesterday on this project suddenly YouTube links would magically disappear and no longer be available in the app I use here. I contacted customer support about this but I always like to share when as, Van Morrison put it, “strange things occur”. Hopefully the technicians at Squarespace will be kind enough to address this problem.
Today seems like the perfect day to bring in the song April Come She Will as it is the first day of April. When I was a teenager, I had a Paul Simon Complete book of piano music which I would play very frequently. The songs that are in that book are especially dear to me and much more so now as one of these songs is mentioned in Koand’s remarkable audiobook How To Play Guitar And Y - available on audible.
As I have said before, it has been a genuine deep sorrow - one of many - that I could not find a way to become the musician that I wanted to be. For whatever reason. While I’m still not sure I ever will be, I am extremely grateful that Koand has made this audiobook because insight in his method is invaluable information to me.
Art Garfunkel is a musician I was able to photograph back when I was a celebrity photographer and that’s a really pleasant memory for me.
“Double Agent" Lyrics
One goes on stage, the other goes home
One's got friends and the other's alone
One writes the words and one performs the songs
Two different roles, in two different worlds
Double agent, do you concur?
Double agent, when the lines start to blur
Renegade Sir
One must succumb to the mind control
One gives his all to rock and roll
One is an asset of MI5
One keeps on looking at stars in their eyes
Double agent, do you concur?
Double agent, when lines start to blur
And strange things occur
Some slipped under the radar
Some got compromised
Some played a good game
And others were spies
Some drank the Kool-aid
Some did the right thing
But some moved on over to the dark side
Double agent, do you concur
Double agent, when lines start to blur
And strange things occur
Some said never desert
A comrade in need
Some planted cocaine
Some smoked the weed
Some gave the retort
"Do you know who I am?"
One wrote the report
One didn't give a damn
Double agent, do you concur?
Double agent, when lines start to blur
Renegade Sir
Renegade Sir
Double agent, do you concur?
Double agent, when lines start to blur
Renegade Sir
Renegade
Renegade
Got to go renegade
Got to go renegade
When lines start to blur
Renegade Sir
Renegade
Renegade
“April Come She Will" Lyrics
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
Below is the excerpt of How To Play Guitar And Y that I am working on right now.
