This is an excellent clip from Songs of America (second half, first half is At The Zoo) of Artie singing America with a piano.

Are there any live versions of this song with a piano out there? Sadly, Back To College didn´t have it as I have been unable to find a recording of America w/ piano.

Who is that girl Paul Simon holds hands with at the end? Is that Kathy?

Strange voice that Artie has in this clip while singing America.

It doesn´t sound garfunky at all. At least until the word "why". There you think "Ah, he´s back again"

I think he doesn´t play any instrument!?

Is there any source where you can find midis/recordings of the second voice i.e. Garfunkels part? I was able to hear it for a couple of songs but not for America, Homeward Bound and some others...

No, Artie is not playing the piano here. I´m guessing that whomever is playing it is the same person who played Bridge on the piano on the clips from the extras of the Old Friends DVD. Too bad Simon and Garfunkel never played a live version of this song w/a piano.

Hey Johnny,

I´m sorry I have no midis of Arties harmonies, but especially America and Homeward Bound have great harmonies !

A tip: Check youtube for S&G revival bands, there is at least one (japanese, their accent is funny) where you can clearly hear out the second harmony.
