Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Simon & Garfunkel cover) - Mike Masse and Sterling Cottam

[Zarth1985]

You guys should seriously sign up for X factor, American Idols etc :D You'd win .. really good job :)

[TashiTam]

This is perfectly sung and played!.... Dude, did you know that you mic is more expensive than my car??

[alokkulkarni78]

this is one of my favs, and u guys nailed it, am a professional musician and I know how difficult it is to do the harmonies let alone play the guitar doing so, you guys are awesome :-)

[tenuis70]

still blown away!

[mdibound]

oh. my. god

[lagerfeuermusik]

fantastic !!!!

[DimebagsLeftToe]

this is insane. you guys are masters at this stuff. its inspiring. thank you.

[MegaDS2009]

The harmonies are soo good best version i heard of this song :)



[phonomoss]

Pantomime. Lip synching

[mikemassedotcom]

@phonomoss Curse you, Inspector Dim. You are too clever for us naughty people.  Sigh....

[PWRSTR0KER2008]

@mikemassedotcom Getting comments that you are lip synching has got to feel good haha! Amazing job, like all of your videos.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

@mikemassedotcom do you guys have reverb on anything?

[boldger62]

Paul simon stands alone. That said both of your voices and guitar ability are matched by none other. I appreciate you posting your talent. For 75k of us to hear your rendition is what "making music" is all about. Thank you.

[phximam]

I do not know what to say. Awesome is not a good word. 

[Sept162012]

Thx guys,, Un believable..

[blendincoffee]

That is FANTASTIC!

[WickwareBoisseau]

I think you would be great singing "Holdin' on to Yesterday" by Ambrosia. Your voice is up in that high octave range and I think that would be great to work in the harmonies as well. Huge fan!

[LCTriad]

Are you kidding me!!??? WOW!! this is awesome!

[donnarobinson100]

I love this and I think it is better than SImon and Garfunkle by far, but there is one extra word that needs to be left out...THE...remember me to ONE who lives there...because I'm sure she is not the only one who lives there...LOVE ALL OF IT AND AM EMAILING MY FRIENDS...YOU GUYS should have a record deal!!!!! BEAUTIFUL VOICES!!!!!!!!

[bowler57a]

Wow.

[tomstrat1]

Equal and possibly Better (matter of opinion) than Simon & Garfunkel. Thanks for the Video. :)

[savagesanity]

Probably the most accurate cover of a song I've ever heard...you guys really sound like the original. Excellent.

[planetbuyer]

what a beautiful voice!

[jello2545]

[raystargazer]

Nicely done!!!!

[TheElRobo]

Still perfect!

[omar0pm]

[REDBAZ]

Just simply beautiful.

[Per4uXYv35]

Question: How does it feel to play a 12-string? is it harder or easier to play than a 6-string?

[aido179]

@Per4uXYv35 it's different. Not massively, although I say this as someone who has only played one a few times. Feels fantastic

[wockplantd]

Can´t say anything but awesome!

[cupolove1]

this is outrageously good! CRAZY!

[PsychedelicKiller93]

love poster in the background !

[mikemassedotcom]

@PsychedelicKiller93 Thanks! It's actually a mirror, which makes it even cooler. :)

[PsychedelicKiller93]

@mikemassedotcom Where did you get that mirror lol i want it

[saddamdontsurf]

old . fond and comfortable . nicely done .

[DavelovesRealMusic]

tepo slighty too fast but vocally perfect

[mikemassedotcom]

@DavelovesRealMusic They actually speed up quite a bit during the original version. We opted to start at that faster tempo and try to maintain it.

[SuperMerchus]

@DavelovesRealMusic perfect to me..... just beautiful.

[mysteriofan35]

You say Bruno Mars, I say Tenacious D

You say Hannah Montana, I say Aerosmith

You say Owl City, I say Bon Jovi

You say Jonas Brothers, I say Simon And Garfunkel You say Taylor Swift, I say AC/DC

You say Justin Bieber, I say **** You

95% of teens these days listen to the same formulaic, crappy pop over and over again.

[ieatcrayons81]

Incredible! And I couldn't help but notice they have a Beatles poster in the background - awesome! Pass the toke already..!!

[mastermadass]

SONG FOR SKYRIM

[7761864]

Incredible!

[linkheyter]

put a condom before click!!!!

[Katiushae]

There are a lot of words I want to say... But only PERFECT is right, I think :)

[Mlb6389]

Could it be "The sound of silence" by Simon & Garfunkel? You should do it, you're very good!

[man1eating1squirrel]

because you can cover this song wonderfully, and because of the Beatles poster you just got another subsciber

[miekjaahh]

That was WONDERFULL just perfect. Keep on going guys. You inspire many.

[nicholas72611]

Can this be played on violin? I must know

[TheoVilleneuve]

Incredible !

[mcelwee58]

We have to remember people that Paul Simon stole this from Martin Carthy

[mokhtarr]

So Perfect!!!



[levi99levi]

wow, just amazing.

[TheDishWasher]

The 2 dislikes can only be envious Simon & Garfunkel

[jamsessionblog]

[hules111]

[Onogashi]

This is just what the song sounded like when I remembered it. You 2 made a dream happen.

[RedhandPaddy]

It probably goes without saying, but this was fantastic.

[jimihendrixfan2008]

Woooooow. What a GREAT job! I know the Martin belongs to Mike, does the Guild as well?

[mikemassedotcom]

[MrSamTheFlowerMan]

2 Dislikes, 665 Likes.... Hmmmm, what does that say about the two that were obviously, like theuspatriot said, tone deaf.

[Cxeb]

@MrSamTheFlowerMan It could also have been people who wanted to click like, but clicked dislike instead by accident - I can see how that could happen.

[christinneobama]

HIPNOTIC SONG BRO

[fckths]

....wow....

[prebencrazy86]

So many damn fine talents on youtube.. And still so few who get famous, and can make a living playing music.

[cantododudu]

Man, this is amazing!

[Homertoeclipper]

Really enjoyed this cover. Thanks for this work.

[theuspatriot3000]

The two idiots who disliked this must be tone deaf!

[MrMkMofo]

Hey, totaly amazing cover! Damn I wish I could sing like that! Anyways, if you take requests (please take requests lol) Could you do Misery by The Beatles? That would be really awesome! That's one of my favorite songs. =)

[backwardsman9902]

This is just incredible... I swear I'm listening to Simon and Garfunkel

[CelestialBroker]

Beautiful! 

[AndyRiffer]

Jesus, that is something out of this world, why aren't you guys famous yet? I'm 21 and would pay to see you guys sing anyday!

[back2om]

I never thought I would ever say this, but,

"I Love You Guys"!!!!!!

[Phahmahcee]

I was unaware Louis CK sang so well!

haha just kidding. This and all of your covers I've heard are really something special. If I saw you at a bar, I'd tip twice.

[Norcom911]

How many times will I have to listen to this performance before I get tired of hearing it? I may never know. (Dare I say it ... I like it better than the original.)

[deanjbunnell]

Absolutley OUTSTANDING!!! I would LOVE to see a perfomance some time! Thank you for sharing your gift of music!

[jeffrozell]

Perhaps the best cover I have ever heard.

As good as if not better than the original.

[rchenderson2000]

Wow man, really amazing vocals. I got chills from this one, and I'm not even that big of a fan of S & G. Ridiculousness.

[TheChromiumDude]

@mikemasseedotcom AWESOME poster in the background

[TheChromiumDude]

Mike, your voice and your music are so beautiful. Whether your singing with Sterling or Jeff, your voices harmonize perfectly. I wish you played in Chicago, I would be at every performance. Thank you for bringing YouTube up several notches, your videos are refreshing and enjoyable.

[Jazzawray]

Cheers from Sweden

[mikemassedotcom]

@missgertrud It's actually a mirror, and it's been in my family since I was a kid. :)

[missgertrud]

@mikemassedotcom Oh noo :) Thanks anyway for letting me know. Wishing you all the luck and inspiration in your art.

[silversparky1]

@mikemassedotcom you guys are awesome! ever thought about coming to cornwall to play ?

from cornwall

[booREACHplayHalo3]

@missgertrud they are rather expensive.

its called the beatles rubber soul mirror.

they were promos and are hard to fnd.

good luck though

[missgertrud]

@booREACHplayHalo3 Thanks a LOT! I really appreciate it :-)

[Sameu37]

This was so beautiful! Everything in this video is flawless. Perfect harmony. Also, most importantly, I looovvee your Beatles poster.

[Valtharius]

Phenomenal harmonies! I had the opportunity to watch S&G tune-up hours before a concert in San Fran over 30 years ago and they played around (goofed around) with the vocals and melody of this song. What a sight to behold the creativity of two masters. You both did a fantastic job and honored their legacy! Thank you so much for sharing!

[thailander04]

It will be perfect to add the flute solo and re-start again.

[gogobobones]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW really prefect!!! I love your voices' sound.

[spll058]

this music was rape to my ears....and i loved every moment of it.. You two are amazing. don't ever stop playing for the love of humanity... @w@. you two are my heroes.
