Pushkin. Hello, Hello podcast listeners. Malcolm Glabble here. As you know, I'm the president of Pushkin Industries. What you might not know is that I've been a fan of Paul Simon since i was a wee little Malcolm, and recently I sat down with Paul Simon and my oldest friend and the co host the Broken Record podcast, Bruce Hedlam to create a new audiobook, Miracle and Wonder Conversations with Paul Simon. Miracle and Wonder is the product of thirty hours of sessions with one of the greatest songwriters in music history. We talked about his life growing up in Queens, his influences, and the sources of his extraordinary creativity. This isn't a biography. There are two perfectly good biographies out there already. Miracle and Wonder is an audio biography at Shed's new light on all Simon's life in his own words and through his own music. You can go to Miracle audiobook dot com, enter your email and payment. You'll then receive an email and follow the easy instructions and Miracle and Wonder will be added to your favorite podcast app. Now, I'd like to play you a chapter a Miracle and wonder. I think you'll hear and understand why I and so many others consider him to be one of the greatest musicians and songwriters of all time. You know, listen to this story. This is quite amazing. I took a trip on the Amazon and we stopped in this village. It didn't even have any roads, and there's a girl who's sitting in there and she's practicing a nylon string guitar. So I listened for a while, and then we say to her and I said, I know a South American song, and I play Dud Daddy dudd but and she says, I know an American song. I say, really yeah. He goes, this is Malcolm Gladwell. That's Paul Simon talking to me and my friend and colleague Bruce Headlam. A moment I never believed could happen. I've been a fan of my life. The very first pop music I ever remember hearing was Simon and Garfuncle. It was nineteen seventy I was seven, and now fifty years later, here he was having lunch with me. I asked him, what do you think of sitting down and having an extended conversation about your career? You know what I'm gonna stand I'm gonna stand up. He liked the idea. I think this is going to be a contest. Let's just check to retort. I enlisted my oldest friend, Bruce had them to help with the interviewing, because Bruce knows a lot more about music than I do. But what do I think? I think the second one is the Martin and the first one is your favorite guitarist, Gurian. We met nine times. We'd listen to music and Paul would play and tell stories. Each conversation lasted four, sometimes five hours. Missus Robinson was a little snatch of blues singing talking. That's a lick. That's not too different from arguing teaching to either girl with the damn on ring. So we took all these conversations and wove them into something entirely new. It's part memoir, part biography, part investigation into the heart of creativity. I have no anxiety about running out of ideas. You don't have that at all. No, I think another idea, you want another idea, Okay, here's another, here's another idea. In our time with him, Paul talked about doo wop and queens and his dad, and a million other things. I thought that the idea of Earth Angel was so lyrically spectacular. I can remember trying to explain it to my father, do you get it? And Earth Angel? What he thinks of all the different cover versions of his songs about the countless people he's collaborated with over the years. I learned early on that you can ask musicians to write in somebody else's handwriting. And about the day he hung it all up after I finished the album Stranger to Stranger and was like literally a click that said I'm done, But you weren't done. No, I wasn't. This is Paul Simon as you've never heard him before, the stories and songs behind an unbelievable life in music. Pull up your chair and listen. In lip Sliding Away, there's still the big mystery of why this happens, and it's just a great mystery. I love it. I love that mystery. Shong memorial Slip Sliding Away.
