When:

Short story:

In New York City, USA, Simon And Garfunkel are recording Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall and A Most Peculiar Man, for Columbia Records.

Bob Johnston (producer) : Dylan was fast, and you never knew what he was going to do next. With Paul Simon, something in the studio might take an hour, it might take a day, a week, a month. He was very meticulous. He knew how to make records. He had made lots of demos, and he and Art had [made records] under the name Tom And Jerry. He really didn't need me or Roy (Halee, Columbia staff engineer), except to bounce things off of.

They overdubbed their vocals separately. I don't recall which microphones we used on them, but Paul helped choose those, too. He chose the musicians. He hired the newscaster to come in and record the newscast for 7 O'Clock News/Silent Night, another song that I think helped end that war.
