Sorry Ray @ray666 but I thought you may be young enough to remember this song - first thing I thought of when you started this discussion but it went in one ear and out the other and I forgot to post it until today. Happy Wednesday to all my one trick pony friends (pssst... me too!).

Ha ha! Not only was I young enough to remember One-Trick Pony (I was a big Simon and Garfunkel groupie throughout the folk era), but also I was at their Central Park concert in NYC in 1981 when I was 36. (Oh, wow, was I ever 36?)

If I remember correctly, that concert was shortly after Simon’s One-Trick Pony album was released, although he and Garfunkel didn’t sing One-Trick Pony that night. It made little difference. I wept through the entire concert anyway. 🙂

I was already living in Denver in 1981 and only back in NYC visiting family, but that night––the music, the lyrics (The Boxer, especially), the lights, the joy of the many thousands––made me ache to be back living permanently in NYC again.

Thanks, John, for giving me a wonderful nostalgia trip!
