“A Hazy Shade of Winter” (1966) by Paul Simon
I like the Bangles version, too, but didn’t re-listen to it before making this cover, just S&G.

Acoustic one-take cover on baritone ukulele tuned DGBE

simon and garfinkle ar once of my fav duos and this is one of my favorites of theirs. You add something new to it that i dont hear in either their or the bangles versions. I love the way to bite off those consonandts. such excellent enunciation.

Also one of my favourite S&G songs, and enjoyed the Bangles version too.

Something I’ve noticed, in the last couple of months, about my own approach to covers is that I seem to resist a one take/ single melody when a song is so well known with harmonies. I always feel like I’m lacking something. But you have a lovely way of blending both to give your melody line a new life.

Your vocals are spot on and pure as always.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! @JoeyCyclone it’s a tricky thing – I am too lazy to multitrack it but when you’re hearing the harmonies in your head it’s frustrating not to have them in the cover!
