see, i used to live in Corona, Queens (Queensborough -- no one ever says 'borough')
Paul Simon went to Queens College, CUNY (City University of New York), also my alma mater. that's how i know. i know not much, but i'm proud of him and love all his songs. i'm so happy to have found you 'cause you are so awesome!!!! you really are!!!! i am now in atlanta. :-) let us know where you r.
Great rendition. Love your strumming and how you hit those highs on "goodbye to Rosie".... BTW, do you use a harmonizer for your backup vocals? May I ask which one?
The best kept secret in SW Va. Every Friday night 7-10. No smoking, no drinking (except for sodas, coffee, tea), and no cover charge. Open Mic usually from 7:15-8:30, then featured performer. We pass the hat for the featured performer. Hardly ever miss it, it's a great way to spend the evening.
Thank you so much for all of the songs you've posted ! I have learned several of them because you made me want to play it too. Keep up the good work !!!
This sounds great!
You have to start a band.
Saw Paul Simon twice, once with Garfunkel.

'cept that it's "Queens, Corona". eek.
Queens is a borough of New York City.
Corona is in Queens.

You're wrong, the correct lyrics are "Goodbye to rosie the queen of corona" .Apparently a purposeful play on words by simon

No harmonizer used. Song was recorded on a multi-track recorder. The harmony was recorded on an additional track after the initial recording.

Well done! Not too many people covering this one. When Paul was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame, this is one of the songs he played.
