Hi Folks! We are listening to Simon and Garfunkel's song "The Boxer".  Originally released as a single in 1969 it would be included on the duo's 1970 album "Bridge Over Troubled Water".  "The Boxer" took over one hundred hours to create!  We also listen to and discuss Jerry Douglas and Mumford and Son's cover.  We breakdown what this song means to us and why it is so powerful.
