Absolutely beautiful! Art should have it written into his will for you to play when he finally leaves this earth. No one else has performed his and Paul's music to this degree of perfection in my opinion.
Thank you for your very kind words. I've loved their songs for many years, it's such a pleasure to perform such beautifully written masterpieces. Kind regards, Ken :-)
My goodness...my first time to hear this lovely song, Ken you have a vocal beautiful.....you got a nature gift, your talent above and beyond I got no word to say, I am in love with your voice....👏👏👏👏❤️
what a great God given talent Ken, you never ever disappoint, just love your voice and guitar playing, please never quit, your da man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Muy goodness!!!. My favourite song. It brings me so many memories, that I'm almost crying...My three years old grandson is looking at me astonished. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and a big hug from Spain.
Hello Paco, I'm glad to hear that this song brought back memories for you I hope the memories are good! If you like Simon & Garfunkel tunes I have many more covers on my channel of theirs if you want to have a listen. Thank you for your kind words, all the best, Ken :-)
@@kenmercermusic Of course I've listened all the covers, but this song touches my heart. And amazingly, this song was one if the first songs I learned to play. Your Bleecker Street cover is amazing as well. Thank you for replying.
Thank you my friend! If you like Simon & Garfunkel please check out my other covers of 'The Boxer' and 'April Come She Will'. Have a great weekend! Ken :-)
You should really go on a concert tour. I mean, here on youtube, many people can have access, and I am grateful for that, but your talent demands more time in public, face to face. Wow, this really brings me back to my youth because you are also arranging and performing it like the original. Many thanks, once again.
Hi, thanks for your kind comment. I've spent my whole life doing concerts all over the world, and at the moment I am performing in my local area where I live. If you happen to be anywhere in the North East of England let me know and I'll send you my dates and venues. Glad to hear you enjoy my work. There is more info about my music career on my website: https:www.kenmercermusic.com Wishing you a happy 2018! All the best, Ken :-)
Hi Ken - That was a great rendition of Kathy's song! Sung really well and faultless guitar playing. Takes me back to my youth . Really well done. All the best.. Phil
Paul Simon wrote from his soul back then.... convince me you know who Kathy is.....your technique is brilliant. Your voice is strong and rich. I want to feel your song pulling my heart out of my chest and showing it to me....stop holding back. Let the pain flow thru you.....this song is about pain and failure.
I keep revisiting your recordings - beautiful vocals and guitar work, Ken. I wish I could hear you play live. I wonder how many of the younger generations have missed out on the clear simplicity of Simon and Garfunkel.
It's always a pleasure to know other fans of S & G! There are some younger people out there who enjoy them but not many, I run in to them on occasions. All of my live performances are based in the UK at the moment. Thanks for your kind comments on my channel, they are greatly appreciated. All the best, Ken :-)
First viewing of you - was looking for the best "Kathy's Song" out there (there's a ton of them) - and, in my opinion this is it! Best wishes to you - I enjoyed it!
I was searching on youtube for this song and who will had the best cover. Son, you did it the best. It's your version, you play it very nice. The best is your voice and you sing it so from the heart - I can feel it. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for your kind comment! It's much appreciated! I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed my cover of 'Kathy's Song'! Have a great Sunday and new week! Regards, Ken :-)
Great version of this beautiful Simon and Garfunkel song. I liked the reverb. Have you thought of making a lesson out of this song? With the fingerpicking and chords. (Travis-picking if I'm not wrong. )
No what You Say .. but despite echo and unnatural guitar sound on guitar ..got the feeling his heart was in it ? see another attempt .. Kathys Song Cover Albert Croak and maybe Its Only The River Keith wigley And House Of The Rising Sun Keith Wigley and Other Songs To See...
You Have The Voice ..You Have The Guitar ... The Mix ?? ? You Have The Heart ..more Important Than All The Unreal Tec..See Tomorrow Wont Come Keith Wigley ... got Wrong Title ..And Others To See ..
Yeah I messed up with the reverb on the mixdown and realised after a 3 hour upload. :) I have other videos though so why not check them out. Cheers Ken :)
Thanks, it was an issue after uploading it that I didn't have the chance to fix unfortunately. The mix of the reverb got knocked to far to the 'wet' side. I'll re-record it someday. :-)
