"America" by Simon and Garfunkel

[Blooby]

Greetings, folks.

Just wanted to say a hearty thank you to this community and the cohort of regulars who keep it vibrant. I mean that sincerely since I am not in a space currently where I can contribute as much as I'd like, both song submission and commentary-wise.  Another thank you is in order due to the feedback and encouragement this site provides.  Without it, I'm unsure if John and myself would be gigging currently. For those of you on the fence about playing out, work up a couple songs and hit an open mic.

This take on "America" was from a recent practice. As always, it was live in the living room.  And if you have never heard the rather unusual Yes version of this song, it's worth a YouTube peek.

Also, any feedback on the setlist below would be appreciated. We have some other songs we sub in and out, but this was an actual night's list. If anything jumps out at you or if we have too much of this or too little of that, please let us know. Mainly, we play what we like, and it has worked out, but I highly value the learned input I have received on this site.

Peace.

Blooby

Songs aren't playing properly at the moment so I'm gonna have to come back to this - but it's a great set list you've got there - I'd love to hear you do Out of the Rain.

Excellent cover of a great song!

Regarding your set list, I'd love to see a cover of a Songcrafters original in there. Maybe a Jemima's Kite song, for example?

I'd love to hear you do Out of the Rain.

Blooby did post a version of "Out of the Rain" some time ago.  As a neophyte, I'm not sure how to link to it here.  I'm sure you can find it in the archives if you really want to hear it.
