[@lynchzilla]

There ought to be a Grammy award for best COVID pandemic music from home. Ms. Carpenter would win hands down.

[@uthinkaboutthat]

James Lynch And she is not nearly as chatty as Ms. Etheridge.

[@Sherbear60]

You are so right!!! We should ban together and make this a real thing....although WE already know she is the BEST!!

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

she's a tie with Nora

[@johnnorth2600]

Great song, great singing and picking. Thank you.

[@danieljulian4676]

after all those hard good-byes, all those self-centered tears - thanks for songs that help revise the pains of by-gone years We're truly blessed to have you, MCC, to help us stay mighty. Thanks.

[@reginalee4461]

I just keep playing this one over and over. It's a remarkable song and I could listen to her pick the guitar 24/7!

[@michaelstrickland6592]

In addition to the wonderful stories, songs, pets and guitar-picking, I love the way Mary Chapin has shared her home with us - different rooms and camera angles. Simple elegance - like her musical presentation in these segments. Thank you!

[@secretlifeist]

Hello from Ireland Mary , great Dylan classic beautifully sung and guitar picking wonderful thank you God bless you keep safe

I have been sharing these with my daughter who moved to Utah just before the pandemic hit. Still got the same magic that sent me after that first cassette back in the early 80's!!! Thank you for sharing with the....... 🌎

Been a lover of her music and her charm for a long time. Thank you. I'm. A girl like you

[@asignmaker]

Can't believe somehow I missed this. During covid your songs got me through. Yup I had covid too. But being a life long Dylan fan I knew I'd have known or remembered you doing a Dylan song. Loved it loved them all!!! Still watch them all. The "Solitude and Sometimes the Sky" are my faves. Can't thank you enough for singing me through a very tough time in life. Love them all. Thanks and you Stay strong. Steve Keith

[@essiemakescards7831]

Your music is really "getting me through." Thanks MCC...you are a treasure. Don't Think Twice.... takes me back to days long ago spent listening to the Peter Paul &Mary version (loved them then, love you now). #staymighty, indeed.

[@amyhaselgren7886]

Absolutely incredible!!! Your guitar playing is truly remarkable, as is your voice! Thank you for sharing this perfect choice song! Good choice nephew! Soul food!!!💚🌻

[@cardiffbluesgirl]

Well Elizabeth Cotten would be so happy seeing you play like this Mary. Saw you in CARDIFF years back and your guitar playing was just wonderful Thanks for all this great entertainment xxx

[@audreyfelso993]

@cardiffbluesgirl I agree, Elizabeth Cotten would love this performance! MCC's and her music are played in Hungary, favourite song Vestapol. Greetings! ✌

[@billbernhard3582]

Our engendered thanks for such generosity and prowess, Ms Carpenter !

[@reginalee4461]

Hands down the best guitar picker there is

[@SpookyGRL]

Thank you, Mary, for warming us from the inside out💜

[@ethnicmusiclover]

Once again. peacefulness, beauty and love. I cannot imagine one thumbs down on anything she does. Just seeing her smile and angus makes this worthwhile. And occasionally White Kitty. Her sharing her music and herself at home. Oh well. You can never always please everyone but not matter. Music is healing to the soul.

[@maryintersimone4107]

Thanks for this great Dylan Song, and thank you for being there for all of us. ❤️

[@mariongerner5646]

You make every Sunday so special and uplifting. What a great choice of song by your nephew and you gave a master class in finger picking accompanied by your velvet voice. Be well, enjoy Autumn walks on the Farm with Angus and thank you so much for constantly sharing your gifts.....it soothes my soul.

[@reginalee4461]

Oh my goodness! She makes that guitar sing. Awesome!

[@pennycamfield7735]

You are as constant as dawn and dusk...and a soul as expressive as Mother Nature’s beauty. Looking forward to later this morning.

[@patgaff2536]

I thank your nephew for his suggestion of this song. I love your version. Thank you so much. You, stay strong and mighty.

[@timlane-bortell2678]

Doesn’t seem like Sunday afternoon without Songs from Home! Thank you!

[@donfreeman5415]

"Don't Think Twice" was extraordinary as was your finger picking. Amazing how far you've come. Thanks for a few minutes of beauty each week in this time of chaos. Be safe.

[@randalbladel2817]

I would seriously buy a CD of all of these Songs from Home in a collection. Some of your best work.

[@alt2ooning]

MCC a true 'thoroughbred' of singers, songwriters and finger style guitarists .......thanks for resurrecting this classic Dylan chestnut and putting some Chapin and Greven 'lustre & polish' onto/into it........I just knew after the few bars of intro your viewers were in for a real musical treat........as always thank you and nor do 'I think twice' about sincerely wishing you "God Bless"

[@pwb0511]

Many are probably surprised how skillfully Mary can play the guitar but I am not, she can do it all, exceptionally❤️

[@AmandaKreglowProductions]

I look forward to this every Sunday👏👏👏👏😁💕

[@richardjohnson3463]

Lovely, what a exquisite cover of a wonderful song, just the right tempo to do it justice. Your nephew has great taste! Thanks for all these videos, every one a treat

[@karencramar554]

Wonderful song!

[@maryannefrett2983]

I've come to look forward to Sunday Morning with Mary Chapin Carpenter. When the sheltering is over and it's safe to go out again this is something I'll miss.

[@giancarlozulian6976]

A volte ci si incontra, si cammina insieme, ma non si riesce a comunicare... In questi mesi la tua voce, il tuo sorriso, i tuoi occhi ci hanno fatto compagnia e ci hanno emozionato. Abbiamo colto il tuo impegno e la tua passione. Grazie tante Mary! Buona vita!

[@helsmith43]

Thank you Mary, another beautiful performance x

[@cristinafrick9773]

Thanks Mary, God bless!:)

[@acapellapatrick]

Your story about the Times they are changing reminded me of a story. I was at an open mic where half the audience was 60 and over and the other half was early 20's. One couple got up to do 'Heart of Saturday Night. So the lead singer felt she had to explain what an Oldsmobile was.

[@scottschell6175]

Love the Peter, Paul and Mary style pick mixed with your lilt- Makes us wanna sway and swing to this classic folk rock song. Still listening, and always enjoying your musical selections in PA.

[@DrGingerHamster]

Ma'am...excellent work. THank you.

[@billygmusic6528]

If I could say one thing Directly to Mcc, I love everything about you and evey thing you do.

[@marshamonstwil2705]

Thank you so much! You love and encouragement Mary Chapin Carpenter is so felt through your music!

[@wjcorrinne4052]

Ms. Marsha you speak for many. Your words are wise.

[@tomas5376]

Love that song and love your guitar playing!👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵

[@audreyfelso993]

Just always remember to😊please! I love your songs best in the world but this Episode with the Dylan song has always been and will always be one of my favourites of SFH. I just don't dare to say when somebody asks🤭. Sending just simply the smiles🌺⛵🌊

[@wjcorrinne4052]

Feel Pride in knowing and appreciating good music. Never be afraid to express your likes, you might just be surprised at those who feel the same. You open the door to your world and in turn they open theirs to you. Then both of you grow in knowledge and wisdom. Always share what is good.

[@carolinehero8419]

I rise each morning to take comfort in Nature, just as I always have, and after my walk at sunrise your voice completed my early morning. Thank you for your kindness and your talents. Stay well and stay mighty!

[@julietissue8528]

You are a fingerpicking monster! Thanks for letting me play along again!

[@pushyred]

I absolutely love your guitar technique.

[@hddolginoff]

As always, I loved the song, your rendition of it, and your smooth and mellow picking.

[@dhtm3577]

Thank you again, Mary. The best part of my Sunday is waking up to a new post from you. With deep gratitude.🙏❤️

[@kathybeltz6910]

Ummm....I've been singing along, all along 😳...thanks for the music ❤ I so miss singing in choir, singing along with you in harmony as with a friend....what a blessing!!!

[@AlanJan_UK_49]

Love and hugs from rainy Bristol (UK). No wonder our house is full of your CD's and KZbin brings up tons of recommendations of your work. Did you know you were an angel right here on Earth ?

[@piercedarrow57]

Just BEAUTIFUL Mary...I spent the morning outdoors just outside the City in the Crisp October Sunhine and came back to hear You sing THIS! Wow....Life is GOOD. Bless You

[@lindaeatonbrenizer3479]

A wonderful way to start Sunday of rest and renewal. Thank you and God Bless you Mary, Angus and Whtie Kitty. ♥♥

[@ranchstockstray8684]

A cup of Hazelnut coffee, cranberry muffin, and MCC...morning is good. As I watched you sing and play that beautiful guitar I imagined you as a whole embodied musical instrument. Thank you so much for bringing light into the shadows of the times in which we live. Blessings on you, Angus, and sleeping White Kitty.

[@patriciabedding349]

I love the more upbeat MCC version! 😺

[@carriepowers6743]

I could listen to you sing and play all day! Such a beautiful voice and incredible guitar playing. You should do an album of Dylan songs. 🌻 I have been enjoying listening to your new album, BTW! You are the best. Stay mighty, Mary!

[@TheLittletrees]

Wonderful song and all the memories certainly brings back lots of feelings of my era. Thank you Mary Chapin Carpenter for coming into our homes. Top shelve ✌️❤️

[@chrizla7103]

Great song I look forward to Sundays love your music and everything else you sing

[@rosannemadden8520]

It gets no better than this! MCC, thank you for giving us something to look forward to! See you in a few!

[@wjcorrinne4052]

Hi Rosanne, It’s been a while. Just wanted to take the time to wish you all the best this Holiday Season with your family and friends. Hope you’ve been healthy and avoided the viruses that are now going around. Enjoy all that’s around you, take pleasure in the little things in life, they give us peace in difficult times. Hope Audrey is all right with all the turmoil in her neighboring countries. Till next time peace to you and all you meet on your journey. Bill

[@captainkprflury3480]

Thanks MCC! Amazing as usual! Love singing along- good choice from your wonderful nephew- I am sure alot of kids loved it as well!! Stay safe,stay mighty!

[@janelawless621]

Reminds me of all the people who have come and gone over the course of my life. The good ones are hard to find. Beautiful rendition and wonderful finger-picking. ❤️🎶🍃🍂

[@cj2467]

Authentic and Beautiful!

[@milissaviggiano7370]

I didn't want the song or the moment with you to end, so I listened twice instead of thinking twice! Thanks as always for sharing your Sunday, Angus and special gifts with us❤

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

Hi Mary, I guess Angus is just not a Dylan fan 😁 Lovely guitar and vocal as ever. Thanks for the recommendations. I love the community feel on here. I hope you enjoy doing these little shows as much as we do watching them. I guess now, more than ever, we all need something to cling on to. It’s great we can all ‘hold hands’ around the world. Despite what the media would have you believe, maybe the internet is not all bad after all. Climate crisis is a good way to call it. In the news just yesterday I saw South East France and Northern Italy have been hit by terrible storms, causing really bad flooding and landslides. Some have had 4 months rain in just 24 hours. Weather all around the world seems to be getting more extreme. We all need to look after our ‘little blue spot’ better than we have. Stay mighty 😊

[@markphillips1893]

I have just managed to watch Sunday's episode and wow what a number and performance Mary. You are such a beautiful soul and you make my heart sing with joy watching and listening to you. Thank you for being there for the world to enjoy. Much love from Sussex UK - Stay Mighty ❤✌

[@timyoung5230]

Absolutely terrific! Glad I got to tune in!

[@carrollverbeck2964]

Listening with tears running down my face. 3 weeks ago I tested positive with covid19 and just not getting any better. My wife beat it and she is off quarantine. I love life so much , just not ready to say goodbye. Thanks for your music. God bless

[@ursulamulder110]

Oh man!! Hang in there. Will keep you in thoughts and prayers!

[@audreyfelso993]

I am sending prayers and love.

[@ursulamulder110]

Hey, how are you today??

[@carrollverbeck2964]

I'm fighting pneumonia right now and have several more days of antibiotics. Not out of woods yet.

[@carrollverbeck2964]

Still in bed with pneumonia. This stuff is bad. At least 103 fever is gone.

[@johnlewton3918]

Thank you, MCC, you took me back 50(!) years.

[@wjcorrinne4052]

John know that you are not alone on that journey back to younger happier times of our youth.

[@audreyfelso993]

Dear Mary! Wow, thank you for this wonderful song! I think the kids are smart and are aware of many things of the hard times we live in, but considering everything around, they are very grateful for every smile they get and that can be given. Like for all, your voice calms down my soul and I'm very grateful for what you are doing for us!!! You are so very universal and very personal at the same time! Silver line leads me to your Songs From Home but to paraphrase you, the path is also 'known by heart'. Thank you so much! Please, take care! Please take care Everyone! Have as good a week as possible!! Hugs to Angus and White Kitty🌺

[@pskeck04]

So glad to see your post Audrey! Take care and God Bless!

[@wjcorrinne4052]

Hi Audrey, I’ve been delinquent in my second stroll through “SFH”. I first heard this sung by Peter, Paul & Mary back in the late 60s early 70s. Back then the words were important but the rhythm and flow was what I felt most, They were my first “rock” concert , a live in person concert in Washington,DC. After coming out the other side of the still potent pandemic, being vaccinated I do find myself at times “ sit and wonder why”? Introspective at times but mostly the Why and there are many of them to ponder. Many I have no answer for just more questions. Summer has come to parts of my Country with a vengeance, Canada too, with all that’s happened, why? Enjoy your summer with family and friends. Leave a smile wherever you visit and all you touch with your goodness. You make the World a better place to be. Peace, health, safety and blessings to you.

[@joycechenette7640]

Good Day Mary ! Wishes for a Peaceful and Relaxing Day ! Play On 😊❤️

[@sandyartman7520]

Don’t know which I enjoyed more, the finger picking or the song. You have the perfect voice to harmonize with - totally loved it! Thank you for staying mighty with your songs from home, who ever thought we’d be enjoying them all these months later? What a blessing!

[@Katerina9256]

That was truly exquisite 🤩

[@markbrownner6565]

splendid rendition...now for some of your newer listeners how about reaching back to your first album 'hometown girl' and doing 'a lot like me'.....the song that made me a convert...thanks...

[@grammysuesue7828]

I just love and adore your music. Each day I’m blessed listening too your music. I love your new album. You amaze me every single day. You are a blessing and I’m so grateful and thankful. With much love , Sue 💕💕💕

[@juliedalbertanson6204]

That was beautiful and so calming. Thank you.

[@hannesheller3162]

I only knew this beautiful song from Bob Dylan so far, but you can easily compete with him in this version. Greetings to you three in Virginia and good health.♥️🍀

[@margieharvey3279]

From Durban, South Africa, thank you for the uplifting treat of hearing your voice and beautiful guitar. I look forward to Sundays when I can enjoy your company and entertainment. Take care xx

[@garryanderson6727]

Your down to earth Mary Chaplin, appreciate it very much. Your expressions in song are relatable.

[@johnbutcher1710]

always listen to couple of songs from mary before turning in .. this one has a hint of my friends streets of london.. but a great re work

[@wjcorrinne4052]

Dear Ms. Mary, Thank your nephew for me and tell him to keep going back to the great folk music of the 60s & 70s. I believe the first time I heard this song was in October 1964 at a Peter, Paul & Mary concert, my first, at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Rock Creek Park in Wash., D.C. I have it on a 45 as well as a couple PP&M albums, a Dylan CD and now by you. Good song for our times not only back then but now, also. I believe anyone who has heard this song at sometime in their lives have lived this song. I know I have. Someone wiser than me said, “Life’s a journey, not a destination “, isn’t what last week’s selection and this week’s is all about? So as we ride our journey through life we should , at least once a day, do something for someone else. Quietly, no reward, nor broadcast it, just to help. It doesn’t need to be great for life’s smaller deeds are the real treasures. Bless you for sharing your talents with us these Sunday mornings. Bless all who listen, bless and watch over those in need. Our Country has been blessed with great abundance and generous people who daily think of others and not themselves as they fight to save lives whether fighting fires out west or the pandemic across this nation. They are “the common women and men” whose sacrifices go untold but we, the recipients of their deeds, should never forget their dedication. Even the smallest action or deed can be a huge prayer answered to those in need .

[@randalbladel2817]

“Dont Think Twice” is my favorite song to hear covered. This cover is right up there with the best of them.

[@laurasmith7421]

Always cry with this song. So beautifully sung and played. Thanks for your generosity ❤️

[@debgmccauley5234]

I love the Moosewood Cook Book and the Enchanted Broccoli Forest!!!!

[@johnpfeifer7591]

You are an oasis each Sunday morning - thank you so much.

[@sharonvyse3686]

This song lifted spirits a but today. Thank you (and your nephew for this). We are in 3rd stay at home order in Ontario Canada as of 12:01 ..just 2 minutes ago with variant filling icu beds.

[@MelissaThompson432]

I love it. Do I get to be a kid? --somebody who was alive when this was a new song....

[@rjlwis]

2 weeks in a row...tears. Thank you...

[@erinelvis]

Absolutely stunning!

[@natedierberger1912]

Great song. Great cover! Thank you for all the songs, Mary!

[@odessa3186]

Like sourwood honey. So sweet with a little edge. One American Treasure singer/songwriter pays tribute to another.

[@ruthwallace5948]

Yes every generation has their selections of music, but I love ours! I have been so blessed by your songs from home Mary...

[@jeffallbon5838]

That was fantastic and wonderful to hear your guitar playing sharing the limelight it richly deserves. 😍

[@SteveDickes]

Love Bob Dylan; love MCC; what a great cover!

[@theresashoemaker8353]

Food for the soul. 🙏

[@Lancelot59]

I imagine the weather here in the Smokies is very similar to yours up in the Blue Ridge. It has been a beautiful week and you just made Sunday even more beautiful! Thank You...

[@cathyechternach9581]

I have loved your songs from home. Beautiful and inspiring. I hope you would consider ‘I am woman’ to honor all the woman who are working , school from home and all they do. Plus the obvious of Helen Reddy.

[@martyennes6880]

Thanks for another great song. Brought back so many memories! Stay safe!

[@kathleenhickey7793]

One of my favorite songs - thank you!
