Subject: CRD: Mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon

This is one of the first songs I ever 
learned, it is quite beautiful. This is 
a post of how I remember figuring it out 
about seven years ago. I am not sure if all 
the lyrics are correct. It is arranged 
for a nylon string acoustic guitar playing 
mostly open cords.

Paul Simon - Mother And Child Reunion
Album: Paul Simon ~ 1972 So much has been said and written about Paul Simon that it's difficult to summarize his career, as one-half of Simon and Garfunkel and then as a solo artist, without restating clichés that have already been digested by tens of millions of fans.

From the opening cut, "Mother and Child Reunion", Simon, who had snuck several subtle musical explorations into the generally conservative S&G sound, broke free, heralding the rise of reggae with an exuberant track recorded in Jamaica for a song about death. From there, it was off to Paris for a track in South American style and a rambling story of a fisherman's son, "Duncan" But most of the album had a low-key feel, with Simon on acoustic guitar backed by only a few accompanied arrangements. It was miles removed from the big, stately ballad style of Bridge Over Troubled Water and signaled that Simon was a versatile songwriter as well as an expressive singer with a much broader range of musical interests than he had previously demonstrated.
