Thank you for an amazing performance! I saw Kansas perform this live, and it is incredible! My late grandfather owned one of these instruments, yet I never heard it played. (He died at age 92 in 1981.) I never thought I would live to hear one played! Unbelievable! Amazing!
"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. What does it profit a man all of the labor he does under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation comes, but the Earth abides forever. The sun also rises and goes down, and then hastens to his place where he arose. The wind goes toward the south, and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to its circuits. All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, so they return again. All things are full of labor, man cannot utter it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing..." "There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw that it was from the hand of God...For God gives to a man that is good in His sight wisdom, knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner He gives travail, to gather and heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit." Excerpts from Ecclesiastes chapters 1 and 2 from the Bible, which are the writings of King Solomon of Israel, the son of King David and famed "wisest man" to ever live. I read the lyrics to the song and the themes are practically identical to the passage I just shared, that's why I thought of sharing it.
Absolutely love you working thru your acoustic harp for this, JD!😔🎶🖤💕🖤🎵... Such sweet harmonic tone thru it's hollows.💕...No need for any accompaniment, not one single lyric to fill it out - or "help it along."... In all honesty?🤚🥺...No offense intended toward anyone you've collaborated with...🤫...You are ALWAYS at your best on your onesy.🤷... I read your conversation with Leonidas below. So very relieved to know your eyes are wide open! You are so amiable - it was difficult to discern on this side. Seriously - very comforting to know nobody will "buy" you for the Cadillac you are, and try to take you for a ride.😘... BUT, so much is changing now - about who gains solid footing in the world of music - and how they go about doing so. Only "good thing" about Covid are the lunitic government regulations, which are ushering artists like you, straight into the limelight, Jamie. The screens at home are your stage, and the world your venue. You already have a huge leg up with the trail you've been blazing the past 5 years here... To call these "UA-cam videos" has too much of a commercial lean for my liking.🤔 I said it a day ago...These are not so much videos - but, rather your soul driven renderings❤️ - no matter the genre!😉 You simply sit before us and tell beautiful stories thru your posture, style and shaping of music...Some even to the point of aching via the tones of your instruments. ~If you'll go read a recent back and forth between "Md moiz khan" and myself in your SoSilence 2 days ago - you'll see evidence of your impact on some this way, many who don't even understand how.~ This is WHY I am so invested in you, Jamie! Your heart and soulful respect for the pieces you play, is thick with your quiet devotion and fervour...And this is also why SEEING you is as essential to your "renderings" as hearing you...Aaaannnd is precisely why I hope you will keep delivering 2-3 videos each week - for infinite opportunity to be "shared" around the globe❣️... This is also why I am impatient for you to do Scarborough Fair, Jamie D. That one has been known by title, for 400 years, ALLLL over the world! It could be a massive draw for you!! You - thru your 18 strings?...Telling a familiar and bitter sweet story of unrequited love? Your choice harmonies, delivery and all the rest? In the bag?...Most DEFINITELY!😔💕 Don't know if you've seen Dwyer's yet...Stunning acoustic!...But YOU, again... would need not one lyric!❤️ua-cam.com/video/TRKaAyaPL0A/v-deo.html Keep blazing that trail Jamie D.😘
This is one of my all time favorite songs and what you did to it made it so stunningly beautiful. I'm awestruck by your talent and I love how you make these songs sound!
Nysch, nysch, very nysch! Thanx for ALL of your ear candy. You are an overwhelmingly inspiration to us old timers that forgot what an open field and a guitfiddle can do to your soul. Keep on Bro!
Love this tune, but deep in my heart still love your originals better. They bring out who you are with so much passion & love for what you do. Keep it going, Jamie!
Amazing. I don't know how to describe your style of playing, except saying amazing. What brought me to like your youtube page and your style of playing a guitar or harp guitar is when I first saw your rendition of Sound of Silence a couple of days ago.
I'm the kind of person that will automatically hear the lyrics even if it's a beautifully done instrumental version, so I don't really have a choice :/
Always thought that song would be a natural for that instrument..and as played by you it certainly is true, although that song is much harder to play than many realize. Falling in love with that instrument the more I see it, and would like it set up just as you have it..with the same electronics etc..just stunning!
I just discovered you about a week ago. I love your music! I can't wait to what you come out with next. It's an experience that I can't put into words. I've always had a secret love for acoustic, and then you take my favorites and do renditions on a..... actually not sure what to call that, an acoustic harp guitar? Thank you for your time and your music.
Damn you mr 3 hands...lol learning the finger picking to this song was one of the most satisfying guitar moments for me. the lead is perfect. it all is.
Perfect song for your harp guitar. Stunning sound! Love it.........
It has been many years since an artist could make me cry by the beauty of their talent. Thank you so much. I am enchanted.
How are there not hundreds of people standing in awe watching this masterpiece?
i realize I am kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
Because it lasts more than 20 seconds, it's not funny/idiot/staged and it's not on TikTok.
There would be in the 60s
I was there at that time, it was just like that.
I'm listening at 12:10 am. I need to go to sleep so this is the last one😂
my children were very happy listening to your music
This song was made to be played on this instrument! Great version!!!
This is the best acoustic arrangement of Dust in the Wind that I have ever heard. Period.
Did anybody find themselves singing along the words as he played? I sure did as tears of joy made this ole man feel so good. Thank you Jamie.
Beautiful, simply Beautiful.

So one with the music!! The strings speak the words…
No words. Just beautiful.
Thank you so very much, I did not know this instrument existed and you play to the heart strings ~

This song was on my mind today, and I had to come listen to how he plays it. Just awesome!!
There are no words. Bless you Jamie.
I can sing these lyrics in my head while you play, favorite song of all time. ❤❤🥰🥰
Never really realized how beautiful this piece of music could be! Thank you
Just magnificent!
One of my favorite songs of all time. Jaime, you play masterfully. Thank you sir.
Blessings from Kansas~

Do you ever come south to play Jaime?
This is one of my all time favorite songs and what you did to it made it so stunningly beautiful. I'm awestruck by your talent and I love how you make these songs sound!

Magnificent my new most favorite. I just love Dust in the Wind and this is awesome on the harpguitar.
wow dude you have mastered that thing!! that was amazing, and beautiful,,all at the same time!!
Wow! Truly wonderful. You are so gifted. I hope you rise to the very top and become one the greatest. You deserve it.
Jamie your the Best. Love your talent, none better. Enjoy the sweet sound of your outstanding instruments.
Nysch, nysch, very nysch! Thanx for ALL of your ear candy. You are an overwhelmingly inspiration to us old timers that forgot what an open field and a guitfiddle can do to your soul. Keep on Bro!
Great song nice rendition. Brought back many good memories, thank you.

I'm French picking guitarist, an all your playings are marvelous.
Thrnk you for your music...just beautiful!
I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome music video with me .
Amazing. I don't know how to describe your style of playing, except saying amazing. What brought me to like your youtube page and your style of playing a guitar or harp guitar is when I first saw your rendition of Sound of Silence a couple of days ago.
Yeah sound of silence caught me too, but check Pink floyd, off the chain bro
My class song. So beautiful.
Amazing! I've run out of adjectives to describe your talent but I love your gift! 😍😍😍
Beautifull!!!
Great talent!!!
Another great sound and arrangement.
Just when I thought it could not get any more enchanting. Pow! Shine on!
Enchanting? This is one of the most depressing songs in existence.
Not letting the music take you away is depressing.
I'm the kind of person that will automatically hear the lyrics even if it's a beautifully done instrumental version, so I don't really have a choice :/
I find the lyrics to be reassuring. It is the ontological sadness that life is temporary here. And that can give balance.
The brevity of our lives weighs upon us. That is the struggle. To overcome.
Beautiful. One of my favorite tunes, done to perfection.
So excited for the songs on your new album!
This is awesome to play along with on my native American style flutes! Thanks!
Worth to listen..this is what music is all about.
You're my boy, Blue!
No words, Thank you !
Wow, just gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️
This dude is absolutely amazing on all his songs keep it up
Always thought that song would be a natural for that instrument..and as played by you it certainly is true, although that song is much harder to play than many realize.
Falling in love with that instrument the more I see it, and would like it set up just as you have it..with the same electronics etc..just stunning!
great .. again as usual... son, you are truly amazing!!
Man if you ever go on tour I will drive almost any distance to listen to you... I love this song and you just make it that much more beautiful
Always one of my favorite songs. There is lots of beauty in simplicity. Another great cover.

In the 60s you could go down the road and hear music coming from nearly anywhere. Many of us remember this vividly. It was the 60s, the music era.
Awesome piece performed by such a talented player. Just wow ☺️
