Speaking as an old and only moderately creative man myself, I can only imagine the joy it should bring to Paul Simon to hear a rendition of his song as lovely and perfeclty performed as this. Well done.
Laura, you just made a man old enough to be your grandpa, cry...What a beautiful version of one of the most beautiful songs ever written and sung. Thank you! Blessings...Marc
I had the great good fortune to meet and get to know Laura while teaching at Cambridge. She is a delightful person. Her cover of this classic is one of my favorites.
Reading the comments i agree , the 12 and 13 year old you both grew up with culture and appreciate music that is sung from the heart and soul. Well myself am a musician and grew up listening from my parents tommy dorsey and the old tv shows that showed music from the heart. 60s were many folk music groups and bluegrass. Peter paul and mary, judy collins, Eva Cassidy. I am happy that you have had the oppertunity to expand your music to a level that most kids today have been brainwashed into the materialistic world of rapcrap. Btw I to cry when kathys song is played. It reminds me the time when there was more love in the world and no cell phones ! Beautiful rendition voice and performance. It truly touches my heart.
One of my favorite songs ever, since the album came out in 1966 (I was 9 at the time). I was looking for Eva Cassidy's version and found this. Beautiful voice and amazing guitar. I found a few more songs by you but noticed you haven't posted anything in several years. I hope you are still playing, if even just for yourself.
Lovely version of this song, young lady. I've never been able to sing this without tears dripping out of my eyes, but you've mastered it. Also I love your British vowels. I think you have a brilliant future if you keep this up. Cheers, Shawn Higgins, San Diego
Wow that's good. Strong right hand and a voice that's wry and sassy. I like the little changes you made to the original. You are the winner of the Kathy's Song Contest. I listened to every cover I could find and yours was by far the best.
One of my favourite songs since it came out. Just flipping around and found your version. I can't believe what a wonderful version this is. Your playing is wonderful, but your voice is rich and soft too. I've now listened to all your songs and think they are all beautiful. You really have amazing potential, and I will come back to hear more of your songs. I think you could be the next John Lewis Christmas Ad girl. x
Well done young lady! You really knocked it out of the park with this one. From one guitarist to another your travis pattern was outstanding and rock solid in this classic song by Paul Simon. Bravo!
Been listening to this for > 40 years and is one of my all-time favourite S&G poems, it's just beautiful and reduces me to tears for all sorts of reasons. Your version is outstanding xx

Ditto, brother!
So beautiful....the girl and her song!

GREAT when young humans play and sing Songs of my youth so beautiful :-)

Beautiful rendition voice and performance. It truly touches my heart.
Well I'm back to listen again. loved it. One thing I did this time was set the playback speed to 0.75 it sounded much mellower. 😇
There is only one word that both describes the artist and her talent....
Beautiful.
What a beautiful version. Your finger-picking is quite something. Bravo!
Beautifully done , brings back memories of times when i was a young man!!😊
Brilliant. Much better than my rendition. Going, now, to listen to all of your videos! Bravo.
This one goes straight to my Philosophy favs folder, one step up from the Musik folder 🤷🏻♂️ this is profoundly beautiful. Thanks beautiful lady 😊👏🏻

I have to go through however many covers of songs that I like until finally I find one that is really good like this one.
Beautiful lady... Wonderful version ... Sweet, sweet voice!!!
Thank you Laura Grimes!!!
I’ve listened to this more times than I can count, and every time it leaves me in a better place. Thank you from the heart!
What a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs of all time. Your voice and guitar playing are spot on…just the best! Thank you! ♥️🤗🙏🏻
Wow that's good. Strong right hand and a voice that's wry and sassy. I like the little changes you made to the original.

Listening to Laura’s rendition on Paul Simon’s birthday. Great!
Beautiful...nothing more to say.
Your parents must be glowing in pride.
Nice voice and guitar cover! Reminds me of the High School days and the first love like Paul Simon had with his girlfriend Kathy. Cheers from Spain!
one person must not have had his hearing aid turned on. You did justice to this lovely song. The nylon strings add a nice tonality to it all too.
Only came across this, I agree, best version I’ve heard on you tube, great job well done, love it.👍
A terrific cover. I listened to it first because I love the song, then again because I also play the guitar. It won on both counts. Well done.
WOW! CRAZY talented! Absolutely mesmerizing.
one of favourite songs in the world! beautifully done!
I keep coming back to listen to you sing this song. Just wonderful. I think I'm in love.
Thank you for this soothing version of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel! Magnificent.
More, more! I hope you cover 'For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her', would be amazing! Bravo!
Absolutely stunning, beautiful, full of feeling and passion, and so masterfully executed! BRAVO!
One of the most beautiful versions of such a lovely song, amazing 🙌🙌
