the boxer
When I worked for Mr. S, his driver, Paul, would pick us up ( in Mr. S' Mercedes) and take us out for a ride. Mr. S always liked getting out the house. We would take the scenic route to the movies. One time the driver told me how he went to the same high school as Paul Simon, I think in Queens...not sure. But he said that a group of kids would go to the Soda Fountain or some kind of greasy spoon joint after school. Art was sort of nerdy I guess from what the driver said, and he hung out with another crowd, but anyway... Not sure if Art Garfunkel went to the same school even, but the driver said that Paul Simon would be sitting there with his guitar and notebook, trying out new songs for his friends. He'd play one and then say, " Well what do you think of this one?" and his friends would give him feedback.
