Part of the wonder of the internet is that every now and again, you discover a great talent you never new existed.I discovered Phil ocha a while back.This guy has impeccable taste in the songs he covers. He has made some of the best covers I've ever heard. Why he is not more well known is a puzzle to me.
Had a "Boxer covers evening on RUclips. Have seen simply dozens tonight. Mike, yours is quite simply as good as it comes. Nothing is better. Truly flawless.
Mike, The more I watch your offerings, the more I realise you do these songs better than the original artists. This is a one stop music fest for me. Your choice of covers is also impeccable - for a 76 yo who has lived through the eras of great melodies. Your playing and singing are exquisite listening for an old folky like me. All the best. You are a gem.
This video was 9 years ago. Sounds as fresh as today Mike. An inspiration to young and older Who are thinking on learning to play. Thank you Mike. GOD bless you.
@@songmansinatra120 Your treatment of this song reminds me of the beauty of Isabel Inkcap and her wonderful interpretation. I would love to hear a duet!
utter perfection . . beautiful, distinctive and flawless version… interesting having the 'more or less the same' verse in the middle …...standing ovation!
In addition to singing well and playing you have the same English-speaking tastes as me: Bee Gees, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, Elton John. I just love it. It's really professional level.
Phenomenal !! This is one of the greatest songs ever, in my opinion, and your cover is the most brilliant I have ever heard. Oh Wow and your voice is superb, so beautiful. There was a verse I have never heard here though, but oh so good. Amazing Mr.Songman 🤩👏👏👏👏
Damn Man, you are definitely an easy Man to listen too and a great smooth voice,graceful singer and player. I keep coming back and decided, for some reason and was "forced" to play my hohner Key of C along with you. Excellent melody and tune. KEEP up the great singing and playing Sir. 100--100 SWEEEEET
1:51 (lyrics) Now the years are rolling by me They're rocking evenly and i am older than I once was Younger than I'll be that's not unusual No it isn't strange after changes upon changes we're more or less the same After changes we're more or less the same
A flawless rendition, Mike. Your soaring vocals, pitch perfect harmonies and beautiful picking are perfect for one of the finest ever folk songs. Great job.
You're the only guy that can take a Simon & Garfunkel classic and purify it. Absolutely beautiful, Mike!

1:51 (lyrics) Now the years are rolling by me
They're rocking evenly and i am older than I once was
Younger than I'll be that's not unusual
No it isn't strange after changes upon changes we're more or less the same
After changes we're more or less the same
Wow what a great job. Thank you Sinatra.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Awesome performance Mike!
A flawless rendition, Mike.
Your soaring vocals, pitch perfect harmonies and beautiful picking are perfect for one of the finest ever folk songs.
