Dear Paul Simon,

I've heard that you are going to make an annoucement tomorrow at the Bottom Line about you and Artie getting together again to tour. Some people are so positive about this that there are rumors that venues have been booked already. Is it true?

We remember about the separation between you and Art in the past, especially how you both recorded "Bridge" in separate studios. Funny title for a project like that. The Central Park concert was something, I was there, and it looked a bit like you were tolerating each other. So, what is it that keeps you apart? We Simon & Garfunkel fans want to know.

The Sixties were born of folk music, with the heritage of the Weavers of the fifties carrying into the sixties with luminairies like the Kingston Trio; Peter, Paul & Mary; Phil Ochs; Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan. Your subtle, intellectual sound defined what folk-rock music was in the mid sixties, and indeed was the soundtrack for much of our (your fans) lives in the sixties.

So, Paul, let us down easily, or be positive about this tour. Your fans will know if something is up. Thank you for your years of solo-ness and the great music you've produced.

Signed,

A Simon and Garfunkel fan
