"And for you're area, that was some really unexpected as well as unusual
weather for you, Don..."



It sure was...and very windy also. Missed a number of boating days when
the wind was over 40km per hour.
We really aren't used to week after week of temperatures in the upper
'80s. On this side of the harbour, our water supply was fine but in the
Dartmouth area their lake was getting down so they had to curtail use. Global warming?


Global warming would make you tropical and lots of rain.

That is why they call it climate change. They are just saying the
climate will change and it may be a little different for everyone.
The warming will show up in the north more than the south according to
the theory.
If they are right and this is greenhouse gasses, plan on warmer
weather because greenhouse gasses are just the result of how many
people are on the planet.

I loved the fact that he was singing about an octave lower, and I could sing with him. But then...he
jumped about an octave and I was out of he picture. Great voice though. I clicked on this video
also, and it sounds to me like he is hitting a bunch of notes very flat. Maybe it was just 'cause he
was in Australia.

Couldn't understand the words...my hearing problem...plus she made weird mouth movements that
interferred with lip reading along with having the mike in front of her mouth. That was one thing
very enjoyable about David Draiman's rendition, I could understand every word. His enunciation was
fantastic. I wish more singers would give some thought to those with hearing problems. Just moving
the mike below the lips would make a big difference. I've seen singers hold the mike in front of-
and below their lips, and I don't think it makes any difference to the sound.

Sorry. Different but doesn't compare to the original, IMO.

Interestingly, S&G originally released it as "The Sounds of Silence"
in 1964 and was used in the movie "The Graduate" but the album it was
on flopped. It was re-released in 1966 as "Sound of Silence" and
became the big hit. According to Simon, the song was about the growing
inability of people to talk and communicate. I think it's popularity
after the second release also demonstrated a major shift in the public's
mood as the Vietnam War ramped up. Big difference even in two short years.

I saw The Graduate for the first time in the spring of 1967, and that
was probably the first time I'd ever heard any of their music. I was
mostly hibernating that year however and wasn't getting out much.
Great movie and great music, it really made an impression on me.

Thought it was a great movie then. But about 2003 saw Ann Bancroft in the
Graduate play in London. Maybe age related, but kept thinking nobody could
be that stupid about life after 4 years of college.
