So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright . . Simon & Garfunkel
Wide Wednesday Historical
I was in Nelson early for an appointment and took the camera for a walk intending to get a building for the challenge. It turned out I liked the back view better. On the front of the orange brick one it said built in 1864. Front view is in the extra.
Fun fact about Simon and Garfunkel from the podcast, THe History Of Rock Music in 500 Songs: At the demo studio they happened to encounter Sid Prosen, who owned a small record label named Big Records. He heard the duo perform and realised he might have his own Everly Brothers here. He signed the duo to a contract, and they went into a professional studio to rerecord “Hey Schoolgirl”, this time with Paul’s father on bass, and a couple of other musicians to fill out the sound. the record couldn’t be released under their real names — there was no way anyone was going to buy a record by Simon and Garfunkel. So instead they became Tom and Jerry. Paul Simon was Jerry Landis — a surname he chose because he had a crush on a girl named Sue Landis. Art became Tom Graff, because he liked drawing graphs.
