Glad you liked it, misspoptart. Yes, the baby is a real cutie-pie, and of course the excitement really escalates when JH starts twitching his right foot in time. ( I started investigating Newfoundland music after reading somewhere that they have more musicians per capita than anywhere else in the world. Not sure how true that claim is, btw.)

After the classic S and G albums, I was rather disappointed with Paul Simon`s solo efforts; gone are the ethereal harmonies and the lyrics like poetry. To me most of his pre-Graceland solo albums were patchy; a couple of good tracks, a handful of decent lyrics is all you get, so a compilation album may be the way to go. There used to be a really good one covering those albums,called
Greatest Hits,etc: issued in 1977, it is unfortunately no longer available.
Graceland, on the other hand is a landmark album worth having in it's entirety. PS is joined by various South African musicians and they did wonders in revitalizing not only Paul`s sound, but also his career, and my waning interest in him as an artist!
I`m no expert on his post-Graceland stuff. Either his material isn`t as good as it used to be, or I`ve become immune to the charm of his music. Either way, I haven`t heard anything particularly noteworthy.

That`s a lot of music in three clips, Felipe. I`m going to need time to assimilate it !
