Some suitable music here.

I'd have also selected the 'lonely man theme', [used in the old 'Strand cigarettes advert], but some pratt has elected to cut out the music.

What an intriguing and enjoyable piece. I'd never heard that before, and thank you for posting it. Reminded me of some of the music from Charle's Laughton's stunning directorial debut (and I believe the only film he ever directed) 'Night of The Hunter'.

Drama can come when you least expect it.

When my junior high school drama club put on George Kaufman's famous comedy, "You Can't Take It With You" two of the actors created a major side drama by skipping an entire page of important dialog about halfway through the first act. We almost had to call the emergency squad for the director and the teacher that was the club advisor.

Fortunately, 99% of the audience didn't notice it as the two actors performed some great ad libs to cover their screwup.

We used to blast this one in the high school darkroom when it came out in the early 70s...

Kodachrome is a great song. I loved S & G, but Paul Simon really came into his own big time. I'm still wondering just what he and Julio were caught doing:

I know you don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Britain, but here's hoping you warm up and have a great day.

Another refusal, but I found another copy (of the other, too)
Paul Simon? Damned clever songs from him.

Why, oh why, do the record companies (or whoever!), not realise that the earth is effectively a global village and enable universal downloading of music ?

This is another clever one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABXtWqmArUU

I like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsYIiY2wnyU
His music was getting played a bit more, back in the day, and he released an LP of this title. He came to England and played a few fairly quiet gigs (Batley Variety Club was my local one).
So my friend, his missus, with me & mine went and saw Neil Sedaka (three times in the end). Appearing with a large piano and a few sessions blokes, he played new stuff & his old ones (ever heard 'breaking up is hard to do' as a slow song ?). Whilst waiting for something to happen, he started playing Chopin, which came as a bit of as surprise to many in the audience.
It was a bloody good night.

And then there's the 51st way to leave your lover (it's not the breaking up that's hard to do, it's covering your tracks):

You need a very deep pit in your back garden, (or a private crematorium, perhaps?)
