“April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;“
Welcome to April! I can’t think of a better way to begin the month, than listening to Paul Simon’s April Come She Will song.
I remember my older sister had Simon & Garfunkel’s Sounds of Silence album (yes, I said “album”!!!) and I absolutely loved listening to it. (Thus my Peter, Paul and Mary enjoyment… along with the Cowsills!)
My older brother, on the other hand, brought “hard rock” into our home. Rolling Stones were BIG with him. So I sort of benefited from both of my older siblings’ musical preferences. From one end of the (folk music) spectrum to the hardest of the hard side. (Of course, the Rolling Stones of way back then were anything but “hardest” compared to today’s “hardest of the hard side”!)
Anyway, rather than take the April Fools stance for today, I decided to go back to my WAY back days, to the days when listening to my older sister’s and brother’s music was simply a way of life. So, Happy April, and
