Thanks for your great post and incisive notes, Hammond, of which I post here:Both Simon and Garfunkel became interested in the new counterculture movement and folk music separately. Simon began to frequent Greenwich Village, and Garfunkel returned to Columbia University in order to keep his student draft deferment as the Vietnam War began. Both began smoking marijuana and discussing Simons newer songs, and they began performing them at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house. By late 1963, they began to bill themselves as Kane & Garr, signing up for Gerdes Folk City, a Greenwich club that hosted Monday night performances. The Paul Simon Songbook was recorded in June 1965 and featured multiple future Simon & Garfunkel staples, among them I Am a Rock and April Come She Will. CBS flew over Wilson to produce the record, and he stayed at Simons flat. The album saw release in August, and although sales were poor, Simon felt content with his future in England.
