Simon and Garfunkel
I was in Jr High catechism class. A "brother" (but he was white) was "teaching" the class.
I'm guessing that he was going through some "troubled water" at the time. He was young - probably in his 20s.
He was taken with Simon and Garfunkel, and the album "The Graduate." I think the head of his order at his monastery wouldn't let the brothers have albums, or unapproved music, or something. Anyway, he couldn't get his hands on any of the songs.
I volunteered to bring in the songs (recorded on my 5-inch Tandy RS reel-to-reel) recorder at the next class.
He especially wanted "Sounds of Silence" - I think he was depressed. Who wouldn't be - given his circumstances?
He was pretty upset at the next class because I brought in the movie sound track version and it wasn't complete. He needed all the words in order to soothe his mood.
He didn't like me anymore after I let him down.
I wonder what ever happened to him...
These were the days when the RCC was looking at acoustic guitars as edgy and somewhat radical -- especially when played in the Mass.
...when we couldn't eat meat on Friday. Even the public schools served fish on Friday.
Wow.
How times and traditions change.
My small school served fish on Fridays for the 3 families who were Catholics. The rest of us did not think anything about it since we loved fish any day of the week. Then they changed.
