Let's hear your Paul Simon covers

[reeve21]

Thanks to all who posted in the recent Van Morrison thread. You provided some great listening.

I thought it might be fun to see what kind of covers we could come up with for Paul Simon. Hopefully this time we will get some contributions from the finger style players as well as the vocalists.

Thanks for playing :-)

A fairly recent submission of my cover of Homeward Bound. Played on a Yamaha classical.

Beautiful, Pitar. Love the finger picking, and your very expressive vocal.

Love the production, especially the percussion and whistling!

Thanks for posting.

Love your vocals. Listened to a bunch of your other stuff, you have really nice arrangements. Especially like the percussive style you used on Melissa!

Thanks, Bob. I was heeled by Simon's music, among others.

Thank you, Bob. That's so very encouraging, surrounded by such great musicality here on AGF.

I'm pretty sure Simon never experienced this story but it does make for a great song. Thanks for listening.
