Regarding the foreign language links: I've retained very little of my four years of Spanish, know only the most random vocabulary words in Japanese, and doubt that my first-year Latin is going to be terribly useful in reading web pages. In other words, while the English links are carefully selected based on layout, content, and professionalism, just about the only criteria I have for the foreign language links are that they exist and that I can tell that they're about Simon and/or Garfunkel, and I apologize in advance if any of them are of low quality.

Official Websites

The Art Garfunkel Website - Art's official site, and there's a lot more here than music info; a lot of the focus is on Art Garfunkel the man rather than Art Garfunkel the singer, and I like that take on it.

Paulsimon.com - The official, very nicely done Warner Brothers site. Requires the Flash 5 plug-in. Contains lyrics for everything he's written.

Simon and Garfunkel - Sony Music/Columbia Records' official site for the duo.

Simon and/or Garfunkel

Acoustic Guitar Song Collection - Tab, lyrics, video, audio, comments, and some neat rare interviews. Great page; includes a section for Paul Simon, as well as a few other artists.

The Covers Project: Simon and Garfunkel - Part of a large database of many different artists, this page contains a list of songs by Simon and Garfunkel and by whom they have been covered, as well as songs covered by Simon and Garfunkel. You'll find a shorter page of additional information here, thanks to a common misspelling of Art Garfunkel's last name.

Database of Simon and Garfunkel in Japan - I include this here only because it's the English version of the same site listed below under "Foreign Language Sites."

GoldHat Music - The website for Mark Easley, a guitarist who has covered, among other things, a fair number of S&G songs. The site has downloadable MP3s of much of his work. It isn't of the best quality, but in my opinion, the highlights are "The Boxer" and John Denver's "Annie's Song." He also has a page on mp3.com that includes a dark, edgy cover of "Anji," which, aside from the squeaky guitar strings, is his best yet.

The Neck Of My Guitar - News, some very nice live MP3s, and a few lyrics with side-by-side German translations. Has a full German mirror, listed below under "Foreign Language Sites," but in both cases I'm linking to just the main splash page, from which you can select which language you want to view it in.

Play Garfunkel! - Just a fun site; it's the appropriately-named online counterpart of that old color/sound-matching toy "Simon."

Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame: Simon and Garfunkel - Yahoo describes this site as "discussing the duo's literate brand of folk rock." That works. Just one page.

Scarborough Fair - "Background information about the town of Scarborough, its famous fair, and the legend behind the English folk song made famous by S&G." (A Japanese version of this page appears below under "Foreign Language Sites.")

Simon and Garfunkel - Biography, nice discography, list of the 45 rpm singles, and RealPlayer clips distinguish this site. I like the idea of naming the parts of the site after song titles.

The Simon and Garfunkel Home Page - Pretty well done; copies of interviews, some tab, and lyrics for most S&G work as well as three or four of Paul's solo outings. Lyrics pages are full album text files, making it difficult to find exactly what you want unless you know what album it's from.

The Simon and Garfunkel Online Resource - Lots of information and links; more of a focus on the boys, their lives, and their careers (separately and together) rather than on their music. Great FAQ, very comprehensive. Probably the best site out there for factual information.

Simon and Garfunkel Quotes - Some comments from Paul and Art about the development of some of the songs.

Song For The Asking - Really well-done; the S&G fan community's best source of news.

Top Ten Messages Left On Paul Simon's Answering Machine - From the February 24, 2003 Late Show with David Letterman, Dave's top ten list the day after S&G performed at the Grammy Awards. My favorites are #4 and #1.

Wilson and Alroy's Record Reviews - This links you directly to the Simon and Garfunkel reviews. These reviews differ from mine in that they take the albums as wholes rather than individual songs.

Guitar Tab
• Brad's Paul Simon Guitar Tablature Page - Brad remains careful not to post any tab that's commercially available, which means there's a great selection of rarities here.
• How To Read Tab - Located at the Online Guitar Archive. By Howard Wright.
• How To Write Tab - Located at the Online Guitar Archive. By Howard Wright.
• The Paul Simon Chord Collection - Guitar chords for 150 songs here, and nicely organized.

• Simon and Garfunkel Tab - From Rich Kent's website.
