2075 Paul Simon - Hobo's Blues

From: Paul Simon; Year: 1972; Genre: Jazz/Folk

Last night I was up until the wee hours of the morning playing along with Paul Simon's music. This morning I thought it would be nice to also pick one of his songs as well.
This rather short tune is apparently the only song on the album to not be solely written by Paul Simon; it was co-written by legendary violinist extraordinaire Stéphane Grappelli, who also plays on it. It's very reminiscent to the Gypsy Jazz music Stéphane Grappelli played with Django Reinhardt, only Paul Simon makes no attempt to play guitar as Mr. Reinhardt did.
Being that I am an avid fan of both of these musicians, I absolutely love this track, but my only wish is that was lengthier.
