Gonna make it fertile ground” Pete Seeger

Simon and Garfunkel

I am going to see a show about Simon and Garfunkel’s lives and songs tomorrow evening. I thought it would be fitting to show this amazing, wonderfully talented teacher singing the “Sounds of Silence” and even won a Golden Buzzer

Thanks Rochelle

Next broadcast will be dedicated to the famous duo.

One last tree song that I love
