He gets little notice for his guitar playing and his arranging. Check out his one-man version of "Surfer Girl" on youtube (played at a Brian Wilson tribute concert). I think it's brilliant.

It's so demoralizing that as we grow older, our creativity, talent, abilities go away. One of my favorites has put out a new album rehashing previous successes, and has announced his retirement. Relax Paul Simon ..enjoy your days.
