[@bpjoyce10]

i'm not sure why it's this specific song that stands out the most in my memory, but when i was probably 12, so in probably 1998 (+- 2 years to be honest), i was walking around the national mall in D.C. with my dad. i grew up just outside the city in arlington/fairfax counties, and my dad and i would occasionally make the quick trip downtown when the weather was nice and stop by a few museums, grab lunch, etc. while we were just walking somewhat aimlessly between the washington monument and the capitol, my dad stopped and cocked his head and said "i hear music. it sounds like paul simon. let's go." we followed the sound to a small stage where a few people had gathered to listen, and my dad was understandably surprised to see the actual paul simon up there. i believe he was playing in D.C. that night, and i guess (someone who has followed him more closely can hopefully verify) that was a thing he often did - an unannounced rehearsal the afternoon before a concert. i wish i could have better appreciated what i was experiencing - there were literally less than 30 people nearby enjoying this, and at 12 years old, i didn't know hardly any of his songs besides mrs. robinson and cecilia - but i vividly remember him playing this song and me attempting to quickly learn the lyrics to the chorus so i could impress my dad by appearing to know the song. i'm fortunate enough that i can still spend time with my dad when i want, and music has always been a big part of our relationship, but i want to thank paul for providing me with this memory that i'll never forget

We had a fucked up family dynamic, which is why she was what she was, lol... but I always loved her, even when she moved away with her husband and kids... I've always felt this was one of my cleanest and brightest memories.... years later, my sister died and was buried a month before I was even told about it... like I said, fucked up family dynamic: she wanted to spare me grief over something I couldn't control, but I wish I'd had a chance to tell her how much she meant to me.

When I was living in New York City back in the 1980s, this song got air play on a lot of radio stations. However, I didn't hear it as much on radio stations out in Los Angeles after I moved out there. Then again, New York City is Paul Simon's hometown, so I can understand why more radio stations there would play this song than anywhere else. In any event, every radio station here in our nation should play this song. I give this song a thumbs-up. :-)

My dad grew up in Corona in the 1930;s. In the early '40's, my grandparents "moved up" in the world and moved to Flushing.

When you finally get a good speaker and you realize that there actually is bass in this song

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

Geez haven't heard this in forever, going down the Paul Simon rabbit hole today.

Just this one song brings back so many childhood memories, I'll love Paul Simon forever and ever. He's the soundtrack to my life.

Love this song. Listened to it all the time on cassette when I was a young hippie.

[@sarahadams8837]

My mom was a Simon and Garfunkel freak when I was a little kid. I remember listening to this when I was 3 or 4 (1973 or 74) and jumping all over the room to the funny sound in the background)
