1969, in love, ah memories..... and I never quite could get the lyrics. Ah - CAMBRIC shirt! (I thought it was "camel red" shirt - which of course made no sense but...) , "between the salt water and the sea strand," (never got sea strand) "..in a sickle of LEATHER..." (nor that). Oh geez... thanks Dale. And - yeah, that was probably the same year I started smoking. Wow. And then I snooped this: martin carthy scarborough fair - Yahoo Video Search Results from whom they kind of stole it. The simple clarity of his rendition.....
Well the lyrics to "Bridge over Troubled Water" are easy to understand. I love that song. Giulia The other not so much - lol
I think many of us were engaged in self destructive behavior! I remember 1968 as a really awful Year and the badness carried on into 1969. Among Nixon, Vietnam, the riots and the assassinations the chaos was everywhere! Yet we as a Nation survived!
And some good things happened too! Simon and Garfunkel soothed our wounds.
Thanks for the memories, Dale!
I'm glad we don't do that any more!
Takes me back - Thanks for sharing Dale!
