Question
I wonder if you could tell me to which record company were S&G signed when they wrote the seminal sixties classic "Sounds of Silence" ? Who was the song "A most Peculiar Man" written about? And finally, does Art favour jeans or corduroy trousers?        Hope to have a fruitful correspondence, Mark Winston.

Answer
Hello Mark.

Wow you've really put me on the spot here...
I believe the record company to be juxtapostion records - the same company which signed greats like Ricky Gervais aka David Brent. "A most Peculiar Man" was written about Michael Jackson following his kiddy fidling. Art - as we all know - prefers to wear short shorts to show off his long hairy legs. Hope this answers you questions, if you require any futher assistance please ask.
