Whatever happened to Roy Halee? What does he think about the 'Old Friends' tour? Is he okay and well? |

Yes, I would be interested to find out what he's up to. After all, in the studio Simon and Garfunkel was more a trio than a duo - Simon and Garfunkel and Halee!  |

Paul and Art are now nearly 62 years old, Roy
is over 70 years old - he has retired, his last
work was together with Paul on his Capeman Musical.
Roy was the producer of nearly all Paul Simon albums |

The real question is : What about Sarah F? How are you doing, dear? You do remember me--I used to post as Anna R. More scripts are in the making? Hope you are a happy one these days... |

it kind of makes me sad that roy has retired. he must have impeccable taste considering that he played such a large role in engineering the sounds that paul and art made on their records. |

You didn't like The Capeman? I love Paul's album, never got to see the show unfortunately. |

I haven't seen it either but I heard that it was a bomb. I read the lyrics and was kind of surprised. But I did love Adios Hermanous, not the words though, the sounds. |

I saw Paul on Good Morning America promoting "Capeman," but I never heard any of the music from it. I too heard it was a bomb, but I would be interested in checking out some of the music sometime. I'm not that familiar with Paul's work past the late seventies/ early eighties. I do have "Graceland" and "You're the One," but I don't listen to them much. |

Katalin,
As a new fan myself-- of just the past four of five months--I can tell you that Roy Halee was producer for many of S&Gs albums (I believe he started with "PSRT"-does anyone know for sure?)-and is often cited by S&G as sort of the "third member of the group." He took a strong interest in their 'sound' and had a unique relationship with them in that he truly seemed to respect that and brought out a great deal in them as they grew artistically.
Perhaps someone else can be more specific. I just know he was extremely 'instrumental' (pun intended!) in their work and its production. |

Katalin,
I believe Billy Mann was the producer for "EWTBN." He was the one who first envisioned a recording featuring Art with Maia and Buddy. |
