This is my solo cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Old Friends/Bookends" song from their 1968
Bookends album. As I am singing the song solo, there is no vocal harmony part to the song, so it has a very different feel from the way Simon & Garfunkel performed this song. There is a lot of quiet space in this song, so that every breath seems to sound huge.
I do smile fairly obviously in the midst of this song after I sing, "... how terribly strange to be seventy..." I will be turning 70 in only a few months. Truth is, it doesn't feel strange at all.
The guitar is my Santa Cruz OM/PW with D'Addario EJ16 (PB, light) strings.
Thanks so much for listening!
