I was studying harmony with him. Instead of using a minor chord I use a major chord and go up a step. It is hard to get an interesting key change. I also like to write a bridge and just jump a whole-tone up. 'Still Crazy' has that.\"\n--\nPaul Simon dressed as a turkey when he debuted this song on Saturday Night Live in 1976: https://www.facebook.com/100064035043542/videos/paul-simons-monologue-worries-snl/2486424628328021/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3598840, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3598840/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-01T13:45:46-08:00", "show": 65533, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65533/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" } ] }
