What a tune this is.  A meditation with a fine band blessed with gobs of ukes, guitars, bangles being banged over the drums, cymbals jangled, and the words of an old preacher who shouted out a warning over the radio to his congregation back in 1941, "The undertaker, the devil, he does not take the day off!" The entire production was improvised. This is a genius band. Thanks Paul Simon for comin' around to help remember that other Jewish fellah.

I Remain, Yours in the Music,
