"Cecilia" by Simon and Garfunkel - cover version by The Marsh Family

We worked up our version of "Cecilia" for an open mic night in Whitstable last week, and figured - since the weather was lovely this weekend - we'd record it outdoors on a dog walk. Tess had a brilliant ocarina solo but annoyingly we forgot there was a capo on the guitar so it was in the wrong key, and we had to abandon that and fudge. Anyway, the original was the third single released in 1970 from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's final studio album, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" - it's got lots of cool experimental and distinctive production features, but the track mostly comes down to the upbeat vibe which is infectious and makes everyone smile. So we hope it brings you one.

Big shout out to Barry Robbins for his generosity and advice in getting us a Zoom audio recorder which managed to capture the birdsong and the harmonies and meant we could go mobile :)
