SIMNOT - Paul Simon

N.B. - this collection is only good through 1988.

SIMBIB contains references on which my paper is based .  The Cohen (1977) 
     biography is a good chronology of Simon's and Garfunkel's careers     
     which also offers criticism of their work. Ewen's American Songwriters
     (1987) provides more facts about Simon's childhood.  Leigh's biography
     (1973) also includes factual information and criticism, mainly about  
     Simon's solo career, but I discovered that some of his "facts" are   
     incorrect.  Simon's birthdate is recorded inconsistently; five
     different sources quote four different dates.  I chose to cite October
     13, 1941, from the New Grove Dictionary of American Music.

SIMBOK contains three books on P.S.
      
SIMREF contains dictionaries and encyclopedias which include material about
     Paul Simon.  Ewen's American Songwriters (1987) is the best.  Logan   
     and Woffinden (1982) is also good and has pictures.

SIMDSC is a listing of Simon's recordings of his music.  The source is
     Cohen (1977) and the current Schwann catalog. All of Simon's writing
     (except for the movie, One Trick Pony, which is in the SIMWRIT file)
     appears on discs, therefore there is no Sicomp file.

SIMWRI (see above)

SIMARL is a listing of all periodical entries about Simon in The Readers'
     Guide, the Music Index, and cited in periodicals and biographies     
     listed in Simbib, Simgen, and Simsbib files.

SIMNSP - highly selective

The paper and file include material by and about Paul Simon.  It does not
include information about Simon's material as performed by other artists.
