On track 5 of this album, guitar is credited to Ringo Starr. I'm pretty sure that I heard a radio interview with Paul Simon at around the time of the album's release when he was asked about Ringo Starr appearing on the album, and Paul Simon responded that "Ringo Starr" was a typo and that the guitarist was actually called Rigo Starr (spelling unclear).
