And speaking of Cecilia, really interesting story on the meaning of that song, if anyone's interested. It's not what you think the song is about.
It's not about making love with Cecilia up in his bedroom?
Nope.
Read the discussion here. Very clever lyrics, completely throwing off the listener into taking the song literally. Sort the posts by oldest first.

Simon & Garfunkel session bassist Vs. Simon & Garfunkel session bassist game
a.k.a. Rank the Simon & Garfunkels #bass player
LARRY KNECHTEL JOE OSBORN
(Mrs. Robinson, America etc.) VS. (Bridge Over Troubled Water, album)
Both were EXTREMELY talented musicians overall (and Joe probably still is) but having researched Larry's career for my upcoming BREAD biog I gotta say Larry wins hands down, musically, for having co-written and arranged that piano intro of "Bridge..." (and for winning the Grammy) if nothing else ... and his bass duties on "Mr Tambourine Man" and The Doors debut confirms it for me. But that's just MY opinion ...

Love 'em - Cloudy and Only Living Boy In New York my current two favourites, but really there are so many incredible tunes. I think Paul Simon is one of the great American songwriters. I love his first solo album too.

I love those songs.
Cloudy is such a pretty little song.

I've been playing the crap out of this one lately:

And I'm sure you all know, but Paul has some really wonderful solo stuff too.
I love this one:
