<div><font size="3">That Tim Buckley song says quite a lot if you follow the poetic story he lays out in that epic.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It's Goodbye And Hello, album title too, and a worthy recipient of the Golden Pell!</font></div>

<p>I did like the Simon and Garfunkel tune you started with, but I'll give the Golden Pell to the last song you played. I think you said it was Tim Buckley. But I didn't catch the song title. Either way, it's quite an epic little folk song.</p>

<p>Great...now you just have to PROVE that there is/was someone else in the studio with you and my life will be complete.</p>
<p>I saw Carnal Knowledge years ago, I don't remember it being good at all. Kinda talky and boring. Don't remember any breastages, probably because I fell asleep. </p>
<p>Heard of Nick Drake but don't think I've heard much from him. He scares me.</p>

<p>Garfunkel...I remember a Garfunkel in a movie called Carnal Knowledge. Couldn't have been the same guy because that movie was about nasty stuff.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So, in your infinite wisdom, why all the hoopla about Jeff Buckley? Do you put him on a pedestal of greatness as most everyone else does?</p>

<div><font size="3">It is what it is.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I shouldn't have said "group" in reference to Dave Van Ronk, since he was a solo artist except for that one album with the Hudson Dusters.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">He was a bearded, gray-haired, overweight older guy who talked and sang with a lisp.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But he was probably more knowledgeable of the Village Folk scene than anybody.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">He saw, and helped, them all passing through.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And out of sync or not, I remember that song fondly- for him and for Scott Muni and for that impressionable time in my life.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">As for Simon & Garfunkel...nah they made a few albums.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Garfunkel made a couple of movies as an actor, then dropped out of sight.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">Scott,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">That is not progress at all.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I don't know who to blame- maybe radio program directors who lost trust in DJ's playing what they like in favor of what few songs the people are supposed to like.</font></div>

<div> </div>
<div><strong><font size="3">So what does it mean when Simon and Garfunkel are the most upbeat song in the playlist?</font></strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="3">It means that I was flaunting my freedom to play anything I WANT!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Just as those DJ's were doing back then.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">You have to understand that this was in 1967- there was no classic rock, no one was tainted by anything and there were not many guys playing distorted geetars or doing solos, just maybe Clapton, Hendrix, Jeff Beck and a few others, it was all experimental.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Most of the avalanche of new music coming in daily was singles, and Folk music was an obvious alternative.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It was music with an edge, making social commentary.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Today it may not satisfy your musical curiosity...but you had to be there then!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Jonathan Schwartz for example, would ofter begin his show with almost an hour of non-upbeat songs, as he worked his way to a more rocking sound.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Kind of like when we go to work and ease into anything mildly productive, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Each air-personality had his own tastes and quirks.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">There are times I am more mellow than others, the music I choose reflects that and I like it- it allows people to know me better.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And sometimes I deliberately choose songs I am pretty sure not many people will know.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">That was easy with the Folk episode, lol!<br/>But a valid representation of listening to FM radio in 1967!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Thanks for listening to me in 2012, and for writing about it,</font></div>

<p>I did like the Buckley song, but I still don't see what the hoopla about Jeff Buckley is. niels postred a video and I thought the song absolutely sucked. But that's me. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Lessee...two versions of one song. The first: Good. The second: Not so good. Seemed like everything was out of psynch with the second one.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Never heard of Simon & Garfunkel. Were they big or something?</p>

<p>The same 25 songs over and over.. So now radio plays the same 40 songs over and over, that's progress? Whatever happened to the spirit of FM radio? I remember hearing so much new music and full length concerts as late as the early eighties and then *POOF* MTV screwed it all up...</p>

<p></p>
<p>So what does it mean when Simon and Garfunkel are the most upbeat song in the playlist? This one was 100% new to me, and I am always grateful for the chance to hear new-old music, but this style of music doesn't really satisfy my musical curiosity (if that makes sense). Maybe I've been tainted by classic rock and distorted geetars...</p>

<p>Thanks Mike! Nice Series...</p>
