    My God, you are both sweet. The world, which is going mad, may find a thin pace towards peace and love, thanks to you, guys. Tears and shivers from France.

    Nice job Gentlemen! I don't think people really understand the difficulty singing that style of music with those kind of harmonies. You guys hit every note and every syllable perfectly. Nice job!!

    I've always loved this song. I don't know why, but it gives me greater pleasure to see it covered so beautifully than to put the original on again, which I've listened to many times. Gorgeous rendition.

      I had the same reaction. For me, it's because it means the song continues to live on through two great musicians.

    Excellent work you are doing, Gentlemen. This type of music was once very popular. It brought people together. I believe these songs from the folk rock Era, still have the ability to help people heal from emotional and spiritual pain in our modern era

    In 64 I lived on Bleeker st. ( Artist in Residence) Worked at the Figaro Cafe and cleaned the Gaslight Cafes floors more time than Dylan sang there.. Ran out for Old Turkey for Phil Oaks. Played my songs in Gerdes Folk City saw all the Hoy Poy Sunhose Hendrix Grateful Dead Santana . Heard Thirsty Boots as it was put together by Eric Anderson.

      Wow! What a great time you must have had in those days amonst so many great, great folk artists! I have listened to and had albums of all those folk artists. Do you remember by any chance a Canadian folk artist named Bonnie Dobson that may have played those clubs back in the early and mid 1960's?

    Considering that Pail Simon and Art Garfunkel are both 79 years of age (and both will be 80 before year end), we're very lucky to have you two. 🙂
    This may not be Paul Simon's best song, but I think it's the most poetic lyrics he ever wrote and I love the Simon and Garfunkel songs that are sung in harmony all the way through, like this and Wednesday Morning, 3 AM.

    Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
    Like a shroud it covers Bleecker Street
    Fills the alleys where men sleep
    Hides the shepherd from the sheep
    Voices leaking from a sad cafe
    Smiling faces try to understand
    I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
    On Bleecker Street
    A poet reads his crooked rhyme
    Holy, holy is his sacrament
    Thirty dollars pays your rent
    On Bleecker Street
    I heard a church bell softly chime
    In a melody sustaining
    It's a long road to Canaan
    On Bleecker Street
    Bleecker Street

  • @patrickblaney
    @patrickblaney 2 года назад +1

    Fun fact:. On more than one occasion,both the NYC Department of Transportation and the MTA have erected signs misspelling "Bleecker Street" as "Bleeker Street".
    Fortunately, neither has ever misspelled it "Bleaker Street".
    It's astonishing to me that the land on which Bleecker Street was originally built was part of the Bleecker family farm until 1808, when Anthony Lispenard Bleecker deeded a strip of land from the farm to the City. Given that Manhattan is pretty.much fully developed up to the George Washington Bridge (except Central Park, of course), I'm surprised there were still farms that recently in what's now the East Village.
