Kathy's Song (Paul Simon)

60's Folk Song Covers, Part 1 - Kathy's Song
Hey, it's my first video with singing I've ever posted! I suppose I'm offering myself up for harsh comparison with this being such a popular song and being so oft covered here on the YouTube, but, oh well. My mom will be happy. I've been singing and playing my old favorites a lot lately, and this song, from S&G's 'Sounds of Silence' album, is one of those.

@jgmagoo1 Thank you!

I have to laugh at all the guys falling in love with you here. What's that line...?

"O woman, perfect woman! what distraction

Was meant to mankind when thou wast made a devil!"

...perhaps a slightly less diabolical quote would be more befitting, ah well. Nice playing, lovely voice, perhaps you should whip out the bouzouki and sing whilst strumming some rhythm, there are some wonderful old Scottish ballads and lays out there that would be more than fitting to your style.

@kungfuasgaeilge Haha, yeah, it kind of cracks me up, too (though it's flattering, of course). I have been focusing most of my energy on learning and arranging traditional Irish and Scottish songs lately, and once they're up to performance level I'll get some of those videos up as well!

I can hardly hear it, it sounds a little garbled. I have my volume way up. Is it possible to do another one with better sound?

[lindsaystraw]

@sarcee1960 Yeah, the sound quality isn't the best I've noticed, since I did it with the computer's internal mic. I might re-record it one of these days, but we'll see.

I Love You
