The song was written and composed by Paul Simon, and concerns young lovers hitchhiking their way across the United States, in search of "America", in both a literal and figurative sense. It was inspired by a 1964 road trip that Simon took with his then-girlfriend Kathy Chitty. The song has been regarded as one of Simon's strongest songwriting efforts and one of the duo's best songs.

Really sounds nice, Michael. Song is sounding great. Thanks so much my friend. Much appreciated.
Your song sounds really good, Tes!
Added some clarinet noodling (not note for note but in the style). Saved a suggested mix again for both. They are pretty far in the background.
Added organ toward the end. the pitch is fine. Saved an approximate DAW setting for the organ.
Did you tune your guitar to the backing track or did you just leave it at standard tuning? My keyboard seems to be a tiny bit flat to the BT, but not so much to your guitar. I can detune it, but I think I will leave it at 440 since it is okay with what you played.
