Keith Comer - 'Scarborough Fair'

Keith's outstanding solo version of an ancient English folk song, made into a huge radio hit by Simon and Garfunkel on their 1966 album 'Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme'.

Very nice, I like your voice.

However it's no ScarborO it's ScarborER

Very nice. I found this looking for more info on how it influenced Bob Dylan when he was visiting England. And I learned Simon and Garfunkel didn't originate it. It's from medieval times, as I'm sure you know. Really enjoyed your version.

comer is the verb "to eat" in portuguese. I was searching for something by that tag and found this lol. But im glad I did :).

Hey, thanks for the nice words! It took me a long time to be able to sing at the same time as playing this complicated guitar part, but I think I finally got there. I'm glad I kept at it, too -- it's the kind of song that people really notice.

Anyway, thanks for commenting.
