Scarborough Fair is on my [ Ссылка ] playlist. In these ‘Ukraine War’ times it seems appropriate to leave part of the lyrics in it from Paul Simon's (@officialpaulsimon) anti Vietnam war song ‘The Side Of The Hill’ that Simon & Garfunkel (@SimonAndGarfunkel) added very gently and carefully to the song.

Most of the songs in this 'Like Simon' playlist are written by Paul Simon, so for me this is a tribute to him! Many songs from the early Simon repertoire feel like they were written especially for me to sing. Beautiful songs from his album ‘Song Book’ I sometimes even like better from Paul Simon solo rather than S&G versions.

Scarborough Fair is a traditional English ballad upon a possible visit by someone to the Yorkshire town of Scarborough. The song implies the tale of a man who instructs the third party to tell his former love, who lives in said fair town, to perform for him a series of impossible tasks and then he would take her back into his affections.

About BEAUX JARDINS:
I often get the question: Why Beaux Jardins?
One of my older brothers has always been quite francophile. In his early twenties he even planned to go to France for good. Then we thought of which name he should use - you’d better not use the name Van Schoonhoven overthere. One of the options was to just translate our name into french: Beaux Jardins. Somehow I have always kept that name in some remote corner of my mind.

Years ago when I recorded a few songs with my son Jelmer, it felt obvious to use that name. And since then I used it for all my audio and video recordings. In hindsight I can say that was not a very smart idea. Once you search Beaux Jardins on Youtube you will see hundreds of the most beautiful gardens, but Bart van Schoonhoven? ……No Way. But putting Bart behind that search string you will see my channel coming up.

About @Bart_van_Schoonhoven:
Early seventies I recorded two singles with my band Breeze, a few years later followed by an album and the two hit singles, ‘Gypsy Woman’ and ‘It's Only A Matter Of Time’. Renowned for my vocal efforts, I did guest appearances on albums of various other artists, such as The Surfers and the famous series of Stars on 45.

In 2005 I released an album called ‘412nd’ (for one second) with my band @eumetris, 15 years later in 2019 followed by the album ‘The Midnight Laundrette’.

Since late 2019 I have been doing solo performances with my project ‘Songs That Linger’ with lots of covers alternated with lots of originals. Unfortunately Covid-19 came and a lot of scheduled gigs were canceled or postponed. Powered by corona efforts I developed some solo projects during this period: ‘Can’t Rewind’, ‘Like Everly’, ‘Like Finn’, ‘Like McHastle’, ‘Like Simon’, 'Like Dylan'. Now I had time to record video's as well.
