Simon & Garfunkel

Sometimes you just need a little Simon & Garfunkel in your life, right?  Right!  I mean, who doesn’t love the sweet sounds of the 60s to either brighten or soften your mood?

Although I’m a child of the 80’s and 90’s, the car rides with my mom growing up were always accompanied by great music from all eras.  Mainly the 60’s and 70’s, since that’s when she grew up.  She tried to instill a love of everything and not just what was popular.  I would say to this day I like pretty much everything.  I may listen to certain genres more than others, but if an oldie comes on the radio, I’m down to jam.

One of my faves from the past is Simon & Garfunkel.  I mean, what’s not to love?  They had awesome music, great classics to this day, and a unique sound all their own.  One of my fave songs is Cecilia because that’s my mom’s name – but she’s not a huge fan of the tune.  It may have something to do with the fact that the Cecilia in the song is kind of a slut.  I mean, she breaks a lot of hearts. 

My all-time favorite song though is A Hazy Shade of Winter.  I don’t know what it is about that song, but I just love it.  It’s so catchy, has a great beat, and when I need a dance break in the middle of the day at work – I do a little Simon & Garfunkel blasting.   I usually make sure a coworker or two is around to join in.  I like to call it my Simon & Garfunkel break, and I know DY and KK Reno have joined me a time or two.

So while this blog wasn’t very ground-breaking or all that insightful, I just wanted to share my passion of a well-known duo  like Simon & Garfunkel.  Maybe if I blast it now, I’ll get inspired to do some much-needed filing.  Or maybe not.  Oh well.
