I'd say Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme.

i named my rabbits simon and garfunkle. partly because i like simon and garfunkle and partly because they are both males and they hump each other

Do you think its fair to say that Art, looking back at Paul's career, was a grounding force?

I lvoe creative minds but they tend to get wrapped up in themselves. Its nice to have someone there at points saying "the 19 minute chant in middle zulu might be too much."

I would say that, that is pretty astute.

I grew up with Simon and Garfunkle playing on our stereo. I still love them. It's my comfort music. My favorite is For Emily Whenever I May Find Her. YouTube - For Emily Whenever I May Find Her

I love Paul Simon's solo work as well. He's one of the most brilliant artists I've encountered. My favorite albums are Graceland and Surprise.

I think Garfunkel is one of the strongest vocals ever.

You just about can't go wrong, but I'd go with the Greatest Hits, then Bookends, then Bridge, then maybe Sounds of Silence, etc.

Couldn't agree more. Do you log onto his official website? It's run from a Long Island town.

I say, "Yes." The whole flower and gardener thing. Amazing to have so much talent growing up just block apart.
