War Isn’t Murder: Jesse Welles

Apache: The Shadows
The Shadows, though not very big in the US, were successful in the UK during the early 1960s, pretty much at the same time as the Beatles. But even in the US, this instrumental was a song that every garage band of the time couldn’t wait to learn in order to play it at their high school get-togethers.

Kathy’s Song
Monday morning, an early Paul Simon song for his then girlfriend from England, Kathy Chitty (still living in Wales). This is one of the few songs that came out on a Simon and Garfunkel album that was sung solo by Paul Simon. Later at some Simon and Garfunkel concerts, Art would sing the song, but to my mind, Paul’s version was more affecting. Garfunkel has said that he thought it was Paul Simon’s best love song.
