Simon & Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water (P. Simon) ~ Erwin Lazaro 037
I was “instructed” to post this video. I’m altering my schedule, once again, because I was “told” to do so. I’m eternally grateful for such personal guidance. A few days ago, I happened to visit the channel of a friend on YouTube. His name is Dan (DesertRatDan). I enjoy visiting his channel because he plays the harmonica. I commented on his video for “Slow Harmonica Blues in F” and wrote, “I love the personality of the harmonica – especially with blues. “Solitude” is my word to describe the drifting tones that float into nothingness … my romantic impression of a great instrument.” I can close my eyes and my consciousness boards those longing notes of the harmonica that float into nothingness. The last haunting note transports me back to reality as if I had never left. So, after enjoying one small trip, I longed for another – Sounds addictive, doesn’t it? – I immediately clicked on another one of DesertRatDan’s videos. This video is the primary reason that I continue to revisit his channel, though I enjoy more of his videos now, I keep coming back to this one. It is “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. I haven’t sang this song since I was in high school, 24 years ago, when I was a senior. I recently conveyed to Dan, on his video that, “Many years ago, the music teacher at my high school said that I really needed to sing this one. I think that the time has come …” And so, a few days later, I set up my family room and sang “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Alas, I was already …

@DesertRatDan Dan, you inspired me! I started enjoying your videos and your music filled me with peaceful contentment. I can feel your spirit through your music. I’ve always enjoyed the harmonica and I could have come upon another harmonica player. The fact of the matter is that I came upon you, Dan. It was meant to be.
Are you alright, Dan? I hope that you haven’t been harassed. Unfortunately, I haven’t escaped mean people either. I just ignore them. They are not worth my time or energy.
@DesertRatDan Dan, you also lift my spirits with your kind praises. I don’t deserve what you are expressing to me. I am also humbled. I am also grateful. I am also in awe of your music. Please continue to share what you do and don’t let anyone dampen your spirits. If one person truly appreciates what you are doing, then it doesn’t matter how many mean people come your way, or my way. They are simply not worth it. We live for the greater goodness that life has to offer. That’s how it should be!!!
@cglazaro100 I’m okay Erwin. It’s just that I’m online a lot and see so much negativity, for absolutely no reason, that it gets me down sometimes. I do admit that I’ve never totally fought off the depression that gripped me after my brother’s death so that’s probably still reflected in some of my comments. Thank you for asking. You’re a good man sir.
@grosenberg45 Thanks a lot, Gary! I do try to knock ‘em out of the park every time, but, to tell you the truth, with every video post, I’m always pulling my hair debating whether my rendition is good enough. One of these days I’m going to be bald and then I’ll be sportin’ a whole new look! Oh well, I just want to put my best out there. Even then, people can still be brutal! It’s kinda sad, really. But, they won’t stop me from sharing!
@WhatTheHecter Thanks for the encouragement Bro! I appreciate your support, but no competitions for me! =] I’m still havin’ fun doin’ what I’m doin’!
very nice song!
@cglazaro100
Just… Bravo!!
Excellent
Muito bom, parabens, gostei muito!
this is my favourite song of elvis
you did an oustanding job on this
thanks
So many times I have turned on the radio and the song playing is so bad, I wonder how the singer ever got recorded. Then I hear CGLAZARO100 on YouTube with his amazingly angelic voice, and I wonder why this singer is not on every radio channel out there.
cglazaro100, you are AMAZING and TALENTED. Good job! You are GREAT!
@whynotgivitago WOW, Wullie! You can’t give me a HIGHER compliment than THAT! I truly appreciate you taking the time to visit my channel and posting comments! Thank you very much, my friend. I hope that you are doing well!
Love this song – great job
I always admired Art Garfunkel for this wonderful song and I always thought this is a hard song to sing but not only that you gave justice to this song but did great, as well! You are a great singer, Erwin!
Great rendition, Erwin! So glad I found you on Youtube!!
