Kathy's Song - Paul Ashley Live in Wheaton

Paul Simon's Kathy's Song is one of the songs I played on a college radio spot I did many many years ago. I still love it's simplicity. I believe when it was first performed a Travis picking pattern was used but that later Simon moved to the smoother T-1-T-2 alternating pattern. This is my first video using a video camera (borrowed) with higher definition. I don't have the editing software to add titles and keep the quality so I left it as it is, warts and all.

Fine job on this, Paul! Enjoyed it. Check out my new GIG vids on the AGF using my B-Band in the Stanford if you get a chance....:).

Ryan, I did check them out and they're pretty cool. I sure wish I could get back at playing out but there just don't seem to be too mnay places around here to do it. What I really enjoyed of yours was the Sultans of Swing cover! Was that with a band? Love that song and all of Dire Straits.

Thanks for the support, Dan. My Guild is a '74 D-50 that I bought when in college. Like everyone else at the time I'd wanted a Martin but they were too expensive so I "Settled" for Guild. Needless to say, I've never regretted "settling". They are indeed great guitars.

Just watching it once again. Wonderful rendition. We both enjoyed to cover this. Congratulations.

Love this song! Wonderful job! I too am a coffee house performer of the 70's. Had Guilds for many years and somehow lost them as life went on. I got back into serious playing a few years ago and finally got that Martin, but I still miss my Guild F20...thanks for posting!

Thank you sir. What else can I say?

Ha ha I spelled vids "yids". Terrible. Sultans was at an open mic, Paul. The guy playing lead used to run a Tuesday open mic I wen t to regularly. Thanks! Yes great tune! I also do "So Far Away" by Dire Straits.

Very nicely done. New video setup works pretty well too. Love those old songs we grew up with.
