911 Sound of Silence - Paul Simond

[smokymtguitar09]

Paul Simond played and sang a heart-felt rendition of his "Sounds of Silence" at Sunday's World Trade Center Memorial ceremony. He begins by playing the melody on his signature Martin guitar.

Hi Ronnie,

Thanks for posting this. I felt it was quite appropriate at that ceremony, and while Simon isn't the singer he used to be (naturally), the lyrics he has put together throughout the years in various songs, are deep and meaningful. For those of us who "grew-up" during those turbulent times, (Vietnam, Nixon, etc.) he (as well as Art Garfunkel) became almost our "spokesman" for what was right and what was wrong...

Here's another video clip of Paul Simon, with some very thought provoking lyrics.
