Kenneth: I have always been a hugh Simon and Garfunkel fan from the first hour when the "Sounds of Silence" came out in Holland. I am from this country. Please may I have the freedom to make some additions regarding what you wrote down? First of all it is a lovely review: really and hugly appreciated by me!

You are mentioning one of the biggest hits of Art starting his solo-career "Second Avenue". Indeed you`re right it is a terrific song to listen to. I have heard many concerts of Art Garfunkel during his solo-career but he - unfortunately - never performed this song in any concert as far as I know.

Nowadays Art has a terrific guitarist. His name is Tab Laven, coming from Nashville Tennessee and he is really a terrific guitarplayer by playing his Martin-guitar. The picture that is made from Art and Tab togehter is really an awesome one!

Some remarks regarding the setlist you created in this interview. I have some additional info for you regarding this list. I know this list by heart because last February Art and Tab visited Haarlem (think of Harlem in NYC: this name is coming from the Dutch occupation when they discovered this land and called it "Nieuw-Amsterdam") Holland without his two sons. For me - following Art Garfunkel from the time he lost his voice in 2010. I`ve seen him going better and btter regarding his voice. Big thanks from my part to his guitarist Tab Laven who was and is always on Art`s side.

I will made a few corrections regarding the setlist you gave in:

After performing the song"Scarborough Fair you added the following song "Canticle". In fact this is the part that has been intertwined into this song. The song has an original name :"On the side of a Hill". Paul Simon composed this song when he was in London during the early sixties and this song was performed solo by Paul and Art as well.

The second song Art Garunkel Jr. (indeed his real name is "James") is coming from Nat King Cole and it is called "Smile".

Regarding the prose and prosepoems it is what you like or not. I like Art`s way of telling stories very much being auto-biographical regarding his widened intellectual phantasy.

I love Art Garfunkel the most when he is performing "Kathy`s Song" and he does this in a very touching way reaching the heart!

I duly hope you do not reject my comments and some adjustments being a hugh Art and Tab fan. Fortunately no Paul Simon anymore although the songs he has written have become now a part of the heritage of Simon and Garfunkel sang during the sixties.

Set has been the same: during the sixties of last century only two guys with ONE guitar! And it is a great gesture from Art`s side to keep this heritage alive accompanyed by his wonderful guitarist Tab Laven! Kind regards from Holland!
