Paul simon would have been to modern to play at the Exeter Folk Club at the Jolly Porter, but was instead invited to play at an alternative venue that normally meet in the basement of Head Weir House however, it was considered too small a venue for this up and coming American, so his appearance was moved to the loft in the barn of Newhayes House in Cowick Lane.
Paul has based this track on a song called "Engine 143". It's a true story of George Alley who died in Oct 1890 due to a Rail crash on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. Joan Baez also covered the song on a 1961 LP (Vol 2).
This recording was done in a old barn in Exeter UK. Before he was famous, recorded on a standard Grundig reel to reel tape recorder. The recording is approx 70 mins long. I had the original, before it was sold ion Ebay. Still have the photos to prove it.
Poem on the Underground Railroad says something about "4 Words" I think this was mentioned in either the Sounds of Silence Live and Live in New York 1967. This song has the 4 words Art was talking about when introducing Poem on the Underground Railroad. Anybody can figure this one out right?This is a great song.
@0JeffMyers0A Poem on the Underground Wall is about a poem comprised of 4 Letters. Those 4 Letters are F U C K. That's what the New York subwaywall writers wrote in that time in the baroque style, which is common to the New York subwaywall writers. That was written behind them, when they took the picture for the wednesday morning cover. After they recognized it, they had a debate with the record compan< that this was exactly what they wanted on the cover.
Are there any photos of Paul in Exeter?
