[crafty9990]

Another great performance John. Just downloaded a copy of the Urban Troubadour, Absolutely brilliant. I hope you don't mind me saying that you have a very similar sound to James Taylor. See you in O'neills.

[Sapmaker]

very nice man!

[ilikemyguitar1]

i think thats an ovation. my uncle has one they sound amazing.

[tartouche1]

SERIOUSLY!! W

[mbr304]

hang on, wasnt this by bert jansch? or did he just do a version

[duran19914]

the real verson was writen by simon garfunkel

[Sparrow1962]

Simon and Garfunkel did a cover of Davey Graham's original piece.  Paul and his brother did a nice duet which can be seen on YouTube, but they are not the original artists/writers, as often thought. They just happened to be more popular, so are often credited with it.

[abdeslem1]

yes he did a version

[jg0440]

Ovation?

[Shiftito]

it's rare to see so powerfully gifted people on youtube. outstanding.

[cptizumi]

Great job! You're amazing.

What kind of guitar is that?

[austinrjm]

Wow...Hats off to you sir..Respect.

[booburkes]

amazing , i saw you play last year at my aunties birithday and i have a few of you cds ... cant stop listening

[ganimed1976]

Nice work Sir.......this is the best cover of this wonderful track I´d ever heard...........only the original S&G version is better.

My fingerpicking is poor vs. your talent........hat off to you ;)

[rodschi1]

but it´s not the original...

[rodschi1]

to ganimed:

this song is definrtively not from s+g

[ganimed1976]

Sure....Angie/Anji is from S&G. They both performed this classical guitar arrangement on the album "Sound of Silence" and they used parts of it as the intro in the song "Somewhere They Can't Find Me" on the same album.

It was originaly composed by Davey Graham.

[Emerald007007]

Yep you got the gift bro.

Nice

[wiggles19991]

this is the best cover of this classic song on the whole of youtube, i dont know why but most other people have either got it far to fast missed out vital bits or all together ruied it i take my hat off to you sir this is one amazing bit of talent and i believe sir you are a legend amoung men =)

[musicisfusion]

sic man...just sic...bravo!

[musicisfusion]

Amazing...

[jptc69]

I love this song and you are obviously a very talented musician! My goal is to play guitar as well as you someday, but I'm sure I will need to practice for many more years!

Great job on this song!

[WaiWu]

WOW!!!! THis song sound so peacefully....

[NathanSutphin]

i cant help but think of super nintendo legend of zelda when i listen to this lmao

[VIKULYA32]

Ты просто СУПЕР! Я твой поклонник.

[godak]

low e sounds horrid, maybe the cappo?

[dbruner]

The low E is being palm muted, with a thumb picks it give a real driving thump, thump. Perfect for this song.

[aphididae]

this song is so great. the first time i've seen someone play it, i instantly decided i have to learn it too, so i am learning it now :-)

[paulstu193]

Hi again Johnny. Just a quick Hi to say that we are coming to see you at the Manchester gig in September. We came to the Phil to see Bish and were amazed at your talent. Loving your music and just wish I had bought more than 1 of your C.D.'S at Liverpool. Hopefully you will be bringing some along on your tour with Bish! One question - why are you not including Liverpool on your tour? I would have thought that the tour either kicked off or ended there? Looking forward to seeing u. Paul and co.

[penrose005]

yes,ill bring the cds, liverpool would have been great, never mind, thankyou again for showing intrest paul, johnny.

[marriottmad]

[cozzykim]

Gulp! Dammit, I feel humble now :(

[paulstu193]

Hi Johnny- we are fans of Stephen Bishop coming to the concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic. Generally, we would not be too interested in the support act, but after hearing your material on both Youtube and your own website, we are so impressed that we are looking forward to seeing you as much as the Bish himself!! We hope the night goes well for you - look for us at the front in Row E. We are the group from a small village called Ramsbottom - high 6!! Paul, Chris and the inbreds!

[penrose005]

thankyou so mutch for that, you must come to the after party to say hello, ive been a bishop fan since 1978, so its a bit of a dream come true, look forward to meeting you, johnny
