Lockdown Jukebox 2020 - #25 -The Boxer (Simon & Garfunkel acoustic cover)

Описание: Welcome to Lockdown Jukebox 2020!

Today's awesome request is from Jan T, on behalf of all the frontline workers helping keep everyone safe right now - thanks so much for the request, Jan! 💙

I absolutely love this tune, but not going to lie - I learnt this way too quickly, and had a small existential crisis whilst getting through it. There may have been threats made towards both Simon and Garfunkel. But I finally made it through with the help of my very good friend DADGAD tuning, and hopefully you can sing along with this one. Add your own harmonies sort of deal!

For the guitarists - this one is in the tuning of DADGAD!

Normally, I do the 'Holly Jukebox Challenge' in December every year to raise funds for York Mind. However, now that many of us find our lives flipped turned upside down (as Will Smith said) due to the Coronavirus pandemic, I thought I'd try and spread a little joy from the safety of my front room and bust out some tunes for the charity in Spring/Summer 2020.

York Mind is a small charity based in my hometown of York, UK. Many of the planned fundraising events have been cancelled, meaning that whilst the current situation causes people's mental health to suffer, York Mind will struggle to help everyone who needs support. If you'd like to make a donation towards my cause, please do so here: http://www.justgiving.com/lockdownjuk...

Thanks everyone!
