Art Garfunkel writes about his life before, during, and after Simon and Garfunkel. The folk-rock music in the roiling age that embraced and was defined by their path-breaking sound. He writes about growing up in the 1940s and '50s. Meeting Paul Simon in school, the funny guy who made Art laugh; their going on to junior high school together, of being twelve at the birth of rock n' roll, both of them 'captured' by it; going to a recording studio in Manhattan to make a demo of their song. He writes of being an actor working with directors Nicolas Roeg and Mike Nichols. His slow unfolding split with Paul and its aftermath; learning to perform on his own, giving a thousand concerts worldwide, his voice going south (a stiffening of one vocal cord) and working to get it back; about being a husband, a father and much more.
