He was one half of Simon & Garfunkel an American duo from the 1970s.

Their big hits included
Love Paul Simon!!!!
LOVED SIMON AND GARFUNKEL!!!!
"Scarborough Fair" is so beautiful i couldn't listen to it without getting tears in my eyes for years. That it came out during the Viet Nam War made it even more powerful.
Two truly gifted artists.

I need to get back to writing. Hoping to get drafts for two children 's stories done by the end of November. The first one is about a street dog, and I've just finished that. The second will be about an injured tortoise that a kid starts looking after.

The idea was to tell Turkish kids in a story form how to look after animals, but now I got an arsonist in the dog story. Now on to a tortoise-catches-a-serial-killer blockbuster? (Hope not :D but for now I'm just writing).
Yes, i need to get back to my writing, too.
Really must get down to some serious work soon.

Morning, Linda! I'll have to listen more to Paul Simon. It's always good to expand one's musical horizons beyond Robbie Williams :D

I'm writing these drafts in English because my higher education was in English and involved a great deal of writing. Turkish is the weakest of the bunch, enough to haggle in the bazaar or yell at another driver but not enough to write in. :)
Haggling is quite my favourite thing.:)
Happy to hear about the visa success.

Is that a poppy in your new avatar?
It is. Tomorrow, November 11th, is Remembrance Day here in the UK and across the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is a group of nations that recognise Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state (or used to) ... eg Australia, Canada, New Zealand and many smaller countries. I suppose the USA would be eligible to join the Commonwealth come to think of it.

I digress, back to Remembrance Day.

The symbol is the poppy. It's celebrated on 11/11 because that was the day the peace treaty was signed at the end of World War I. We have a two minute silence across the country to remember the fallen in all wars at 11am on that day.
