On January 15 1967 Simon & Garfunkel were booked by The University of Detroit in the Towns and Gowns Series. But as mentioned in a note in the (student)newspaper The Michigan Daily, a day later:
The concert was cancelled and money paid for a ticket would be refunded.
But now I found a an article by Jas Obrecht, a music journalist, who writes full enthousiasm about the concert, on his Substack page. The concert given on January 15th at the Memorial Building.
Now, I am a bit confused now. was it held or cancelled. And even more: as in October of the same year, October 7th, Simon & Garfunkel were booked again and in the review it is mentioned that the show in February was cancelled because the duo was snowed in.
Someone?
My dad, Frederic Hayes, taught history at U of D from around 1947 into the 2000’s. I remember that concert so clearly. I was 15 or 16. Dad took me and my older sister. It was wonderful.
